ANMAC Assessment

If you would like to be recognised by ANMAC, the Australian Nursing & Midwifery Accreditation Council, your current nursing registration must have been attained either in Australia, Canada, Ireland, UK, America or EU country.

The country in which you are currently registered is important in passing the Standards of ANMAC. Where an applicant fails the ANMAC assessment they will be referred back to APHRA for registration and no working visa in Australia will result.

See Skill Assessment Bodies for more information.
