Australia is facing a serious nursing shortage \u2014 with a projected demand for up to 123,000 nurses by 2030<\/strong><\/a>. To address this, AHPRA (Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency)<\/strong><\/a> has announced a new, easier registration process<\/strong> for internationally qualified nurses, starting April 2025<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Now, AHPRA will allow nurses who studied in non-comparable countries but have work experience in comparable countries to apply through a streamlined process.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
