- The Australian Nursing & Midwifery Accreditation Council (ANMAC) has launched GradReady, a new initiative designed to streamline the migration process for overseas-born nursing and midwifery graduates from Australian institutions. Under the previous process, graduates were required to wait for registration with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (Ahpra) before they could apply for their Modified Skills Assessment, delaying the start of their skilled migration journey.
With GradReady, graduates can now apply for their Modified Skills Assessment immediately after completing their course, bypassing the wait for Ahpra registration. This offers a faster, more efficient pathway to migration, enabling recent graduates to begin their careers in Australia’s healthcare system sooner.
- Key Benefits of GradReady
- Early Application: Graduates can apply for their Modified Skills Assessment as soon as they finish their course, significantly speeding up the migration process compared to the previous wait time for Ahpra registration.
- Reduced Stress: By applying early, graduates can focus on career opportunities and next steps without the stress of waiting for their skills assessment.
- Streamlined Process: Specifically designed for recent graduates, GradReady simplifies the transition into the Australian workforce, providing a smoother path for those seeking to establish themselves in healthcare.
Who is Eligible?
The GradReady pathway is open to graduates who have completed their nursing or midwifery qualifications in Australia and are on track for registration with Ahpra. This new process provides a valuable opportunity for overseas-born graduates to fast-track their migration and career progression, making it easier to begin their professional journey in Australia.
