Dear Department of Health,

 

Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia implemented an Outcomes-Based
Assessment for Internationally qualified registered nurses in 2020 which
resulted in decline in the number of overseas registered nurses getting
Australian nursing registration through AHPRA.

OSCE is the practical component in The Outcomes-Based Assessment for
IQRNS. The Objective Structured Clinical Examination is a multifunctional
assessment tool that may be used to evaluate IQRN’s in a clinical context.

 

I would like to know the total number of Internationally qualified nurses
who passed the newly introduced Outcomes-Based Assessment in 2020, 2021
and 2022 till date and a historical data of number of internationally
qualified nurses who gained registration in Australia during the period of
November 2018 to May 2020.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Geons Jose

Head of Marketing and Sales

Institute of Health & Management
