Australia is one of the top destinations for qualified Indian nurses seeking better opportunities, global recognition, and a high standard of living. The demand for registered nurses in Australia has steadily increased, making it an ideal time for nurses from India to migrate to Australia under a Permanent Residency (PR) pathway.

In this blog, we’ll guide you step-by-step on how to become a registered nurse in Australia and achieve Australia PR from India as a nurse.


Why Choose Australia for Nursing Career?

  • Shortage of skilled healthcare workers across Australia

  • High-paying and respected nursing jobs

  • World-class healthcare system

  • Access to permanent residency

  • Opportunities to bring family along

  • Pathway to Australian citizenship


Eligibility to Migrate to Australia as a Nurse from India

To migrate as a nurse from India, you must meet the following conditions:

  • Hold a recognized nursing qualification (B.Sc Nursing or GNM)

  • Registered as a nurse in India (State Nursing Council)

  • English proficiency (IELTS, PTE, or OET)

  • Skill assessment from Australian Nursing & Midwifery Accreditation Council (ANMAC)

  • Meet health and character requirements


Step-by-Step Process to Migrate to Australia as a Nurse from India

1. English Language Proficiency

You must take and pass one of the following exams:

  • IELTS: Minimum 7 in all bands

  • PTE: Minimum 65 in all components

  • OET: Grade B in all four components

This is mandatory for both ANMAC assessment and visa application.


2. Get Your Nursing Skills Assessed by ANMAC

ANMAC (Australian Nursing and Midwifery Accreditation Council) is the authorized body that assesses the skills of overseas-qualified nurses.

Required Documents:

  • Passport

  • Nursing degree/diploma certificates

  • Transcripts

  • Nursing license from India

  • English test scores

  • Work experience letter (if applicable)

Once approved, ANMAC issues a positive skills assessment – essential for PR visa application.


3. Apply for AHPRA Registration (Australian Nursing Board)

After ANMAC assessment, you need to get registered with AHPRA (Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency) to legally work as a nurse in Australia.

The Outcome-Based Assessment (OBA) is now the route for most internationally qualified nurses (IQNMs) instead of the bridging program.


4. Submit Expression of Interest (EOI)

After your skills are assessed and English requirements are met, you need to submit an EOI under SkillSelect. You can choose one of the following PR visa options:

  • PR status granted upon approval

Subclass 491 – Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) Visa
