A General Guide to Stream A, Stream B and Longer Registration Pathways

- Qualification and identity documents are prepared
- English evidence may still be required
- Registration application progresses
- Skills assessment may be required for migration
- Candidate prepares for employer opportunities
Outcomes-Based Assessment Pathway
Stream B candidates commonly progress through the Outcomes-Based Assessment pathway and may need to complete NCLEX-RN and OSCE requirements.
- Candidate completes the official self-check
- Orientation and portfolio requirements are completed
- NCLEX-RN preparation and examination
- English requirements where applicable
- OSCE preparation and examination
- Registration application and employment readiness
Additional Study or Transitional Planning
Some candidates may need further study, different registration steps or an alternative employment pathway before becoming eligible to work in their intended profession.
- Additional qualification assessment
- Further education or bridging options
- Care or support-worker opportunities where suitable
- Australian experience and workplace preparation
- Continued professional registration progression
- Future transition into the intended occupation
