NMBI to Ahpra: Irish Nurse Registration in Australia

Irish nurses move from NMBI to Ahpra by applying for registration with the NMBA, and the first step is the online Self-check. Nothing transfers automatically: your Irish registration becomes evidence in a new application to the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia. Ireland is on the NMBA's list of approved comparable jurisdictions. If you qualified and registered in Ireland and have at least 1,800 hours of RN practice in approved jurisdictions since 1 January 2017, streamlined Pathway 1 may apply. NMBI issues the Certificate of Current Professional Status that Ahpra asks for.

Scope: Origin: Ireland (NMBI Register, national). Destination: Australia, where a single NMBA registration covers all states and territories; immigration is governed separately by Commonwealth law.
