ABP Program For Overseas Nurses

It is mandatory for every Nurse to get registered with Nursing Board of Australia. Moreover, the Australian Nursing Midwifery Council (ANMC)requires overseas nurses from non-English speaking countries to undergo a practical program Called ‘Pre-Registration Program (Bridging Program)
To meet the ANMC norms we have evolved the Australian Bridging Program (ABP) for overseas nurses. The duration of the course is between 3 to 4 months depending on the course provider and as recommended by the nursing board in Australia. On completion of the course, overseas nurses can work in Australia.
For clear understanding of the program please go through the below flow chart .

Overseas nurses not hailing from English speaking countries may enroll in ABP by paying fee of AUD $2000.Then the Nursing Board Registration process will be carried out by us. A bridging program in a recognized Australian University or College will be arranged if the applicant has got a score of 7.0 in the Academic Module of IELTS or a “B” grade in OET.

On the other hand, if the applicant has not got a score of 7.0 in the Academic Module of IELTS or a “B” grade in OET, there will be an opportunity to meet the nursing board requirements with in 1 year after the applicant receives the decision letter. On meeting the English language requirements of the nursing board, a bridging program in a recognized Australian University or College will be arranged for the candidate to secure nurse registration.

The candidate has to bear the fee for the Bridging Program, which costs about $10,000 to $12,000 AUD. After successful completion of the Bridging Program, the candidate will be assisted for the placements to work as a Nurse either in Hospital or in Nursing Home.
