  Hi, just simply look at it this way. The shorter the course duration, the sooner it is for him/her to apply for PR. Immigration rules are not permanent and so as the AHPRA and ANMAC policies. The sooner that he/she can get a Permanent Visa, the better. If I may add as well, they will soon be introducing 2 exams for internationally qualified nurses for registration here in Au.

  @velvetcake1214 Points in what category? Is it Australian Educational Qualification? If it’s just one year, then you can’t get the 5 points for it.

  @velvetcake1214 If you’re referring to “Qualifications” , it’s a recognised Bachelor’s Degree and you will get 15 points for that.

  AHPRA hasn’t released the specifics yet. The test is patterned to the UK’s OSCE but based of course on Australia’s Nursing practice.
