National Restrictions Library 2.0: This restriction applies to restictions imposed or accepted from 16 September 2024. For restrictions imposed or accepted before this date please see the National Restrictions Library 1.0.
A practitioner with this restriction must have another registered health practitioner assess their competence against standards for practice.
We check the assessment plan and assessor to ensure that the assessment will adequately assess the practitioner’s competence across all practice areas.
We usually apply this restriction when an internationally qualified nurse or midwife already has this registration requirement from an international regulatory body for the health profession. For example. registration through the trans-Tasman mutual recognition (TTMR) pathway.
We monitor compliance by checking that:
'Competence assessment' is defined as an assessment of competence against the Registered nurse standards for practice undertaken by another approved registered nurse or midwife.
You will receive a monitoring plan that details contact information, due dates, and the information you will need to provide to show that you are complying with your restrictions.
Links to the required forms will be available here prior to 16 September 2024.
