English language skills
All registered health practitioners need to be able to engage with the people in their care, they need to be able to provide clear and concise information to those that need it.
To get registration in Australia, every applicant must meet their National Board’s English language skills standard. This includes Australian-trained or overseas qualified applicants.
This standard supports registered health practitioners to practise safely in Australia.
The standard does not apply to students but does apply to graduates and anyone seeking registration in Australia for the first time.
English language skills requirements for applicants seeking registration with the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Practice Board of Australia and the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia can be found on their National Board’s website.
