Step by Step Guide

Step 1 — Register Your Interest

  • Register your interest. Once we receive your information we will send you a form to complete.

  • Do not send your CV until requested.

If you're not AHPRA Registered, here are the steps you need:

  1. IQNM Self-Check on the AHPRA website

  2. CGFNS / EPIC Verification

  3. NCLEX RN Exam

  4. OSCE Preparation and Exam

  5. Meet English requirement

  6. Once passed and approved by AHPRA - you're officially a Registered Nurse Australia ( Congratulations! ).

Step 2 — Document Collection

We will request the documents

  • CV

  • AHPRA proof / NCLEX/OSCE results

  • And all your other documents

Once received, NTA will review your CV. If your CV does not follow the Australian standard, we will advise and guide you to reformat it to meet Australian recruitment requirements before proceeding to the next step.

Step 3 — Interview & Job Offer

  • NTA will have a brief “getting to know you” interview to understand your background, experience, and career goals.
