Steps for a Full skills assessment

The following information and steps may help to minimise delays in the assessment process.   

Step 1. If you want ANMAC to assess and report on a period of paid overseas work experience, you will need to arrange for professional registration verification to be emailed to verification@anmac.org.au. ANMAC cannot report on periods of paid work where there has been no corresponding professional registration.  

Where email is unavailable the relevant authority can post the verification directly to ANMAC

Please note, ANMAC will not accept emails that are sent from free web-based email accounts. Emails sent from other addresses will be accepted at the discretion of the assessor. 

Step 2. Provide ANMAC with your English language test number and the test date so that we can verify your test results online. You must meet the minimum requirements prior to applying for a Full skills assessment. Demonstrating you meet minimum test score results will minimise your assessment processing time. 

Step 3. Collect and scan copies of the following original supporting documents:

  • bio-statistical page(s) of passport
  • change of name documents (marriage certificate, decree nisi, deed poll)
  • an official passport-sized photograph taken in the last 6 months (No selfie-style photo's or photo's with filters will be accepted)
  • graduation certificate and transcript – your transcript must include commencement and completion dates, as well as theory and practice hours. If the University cannot provide this information, ANMAC will accept a copy of the syllabus emailed directly by the University to verification@anmac.org.au  
  • professional references (58 KB) that support your work as a paid nurse or midwife – for more information go to  Resources. If you are an agency nurse you will need to provide ANMAC with a service statement from your employer detailing dates and hours of employment AND a professional reference written by a nurse who has supervised you in your role as an agency nurse. ANMAC will NOT accept statutory declarations in lieu of professional references. 
    •  A minimum of 3 months (minimum 20 hours per week) paid work experience as a nurse/midwife is a compulsory requirement for this assessment type. 
  •  Agent Declaration Form (21 KB) – if you have nominated an agent to act on your behalf.

Step 4. Create an account on the login page. You can only apply once using the same email address. Please use different email addresses for multiple applications.

Step 5. Complete the Full skills assessment application by:
