Internationally Qualified Nurses & Midwives (IQNMs): Your pathway to Registration
If you're an overseas-qualified nurse or midwife, your journey to Australian registration begins with the Outcomes-Based Assessment (OBA) system. This process assesses your overseas qualifications and experience and is open to those already registered as nurses or midwives in their home countries. Let Kwatra Consultants help you navigate the OBA and turn your Australian nursing dream into reality.
