  My wife was a Nurse back in the Philippines and is now a registered nurse here.
  You need to secure an AHPRA eligibility letter (you will be declined registration and will be advised to take a bridging course (if you have an experience) or a bachelor degree).
  Have a look on this application form here:

  You need to have a valid english test (she took OET and had B in all tests). She then asked her mom to get some documents (not sure what) in PRC, transcript from her school and have them sent to AHPRA. That's it. After finishing your course you will need to re-apply for registration with AHPRA.

  Yes, you're still considered as an Internationally Qualified Nurse. If you've downloaded the AGOS-40 form it specifically states that "All applicantd must demonstrate English language competency via one of the following pathways:". Madaming options dito like kung nasa recognized country kaba that speaks english, nagaral kaba dito sa Australia or any country na recognized or nagtake kaba ng English test. Have a look I think it's on page 8 of that form.
  Cheers
