🎉 You're Already Eligible to Register as a Nurse in Australia!

Because you graduated in Australia, you're automatically eligible for general registration — no exams, no bridging courses needed.

You'll still need to complete the usual registration checks like:

  • ✅ English language requirements
  • ✅ Police clearance
  • ✅ Recency of practice

👉 Join the waitlist below and be the first to know when our full AHPRA registration course is available.

✅ You're Eligible Under Pathway 1

You meet all the criteria for Australia’s streamlined registration process:

  • ✅ Graduated in an approved country
  • ✅ Registered as a nurse there
  • ✅ Worked 1,800+ hours since 2017

👉 Join the waitlist to be first in line when the AHPRA registration course opens.

🧐 You might still be eligible for Stream A

You don’t meet all of AHPRA’s streamlined requirements, but:

  • ✅ Graduated from a non-approved country
  • ✅ Graduated in 2017 or later
  • ✅ Worked 1,800+ hours since 2017

This means AHPRA may still consider you under Stream A — but your education and experience will be assessed in more detail.

You’re probably not eligible through Stream A

Since you graduated from a country that’s not on the approved list and you graduated before 2017, AHPRA is unlikely to assess you under Stream A.

Don’t worry — there are still other registration pathways available. They may involve exams or bridging programs, and we’ll support you when you’re ready.

You can still join our waitlist and we’ll notify you when our full course is live to guide you step-by-step.

You might still qualify for Stream A

You’ve graduated and are registered in a comparable country, which is a strong start. But AHPRA also looks at whether you've been recently working as a nurse.

If you've worked at least 1,800 hours since 2017 (around 1 year full-time), you’re likely eligible for Stream A. If not, you may be assessed under a different stream.

Our course will walk you through exactly what to do — join the waitlist to be the first to know when it’s available.

You’re probably not eligible through Stream A

Even though you graduated recently and have enough nursing experience, AHPRA also considers where you’re registered — and your registration is not from an approved comparable country.

This means you're likely to be assessed under a different stream, which may involve exams or a bridging program.

You're not eligible yet — but you're close

You've graduated recently, which is a great start — but to qualify for Stream A, AHPRA requires at least 1,800 hours of work experience as a nurse since 2017 AND to be registered in an approved country.

Once you've met those requirements, you may be eligible to register without needing to sit exams or do bridging programs.

👉 Join the waitlist and we’ll notify you when our course is live to guide you through the full process.

You might not be eligible through Stream A

You’ve graduated from an approved country and have sufficient experience — which is a great foundation.

However, AHPRA also assesses whether you are registered in a comparable country. If not, they may direct you to a different registration stream.

👉 Join the waitlist and we’ll guide you through what to do if you’re in this situation once the course is live.

🤔 You might still qualify for Stream A

You've met the graduation year and experience requirements, but your current nursing registration isn’t in one of AHPRA’s approved jurisdictions.

AHPRA may still assess you under Stream A, but your application might require additional checks or supporting evidence.

You’re probably not eligible for Stream A

You graduated from a country that’s not on the approved list, have no post-registration experience yet, and aren’t registered in a comparable jurisdiction.

Once you’ve worked 1,800+ hours and registered in a comparable country, you may become eligible under Stream A.

✅ You might be eligible under Stream A

Even though you graduated from a country not on the approved list, you’re currently registered in a comparable country and have enough recent work experience.

AHPRA may still consider you under Stream A, but your education and qualifications will be assessed in more detail during the application process.
