Modified PLUS Skills Assessment

DO YOU QUALIFY? 

If you hold a current letter of 'Notice of in-principle approval of registration subject to proof of identity' from the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (Ahpra), you qualify for a Modified PLUS skills assessment.  Applicants must hold current registration as a nurse (registered nurse or enrolled nurse) or midwife overseas to be able to apply for the Modified PLUS skills assessment. At the time of assessment you are required to hold a valid 'Notice' of in-principle letter as well as current registration to practise as a nurse overseas. 

Steps for a Modified PLUS skills assessment

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

Step 1. Arrange for registration verification/good standing to be emailed to verification@anmac.org.au. It is a mandatory requirement of this skills assessment to provide evidence of current registration overseas.    

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. Scan a copy of your current 'Notice of in-principle registration subject to proof of identity' from the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (Ahpra). 

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 completion certificate and transcript – your transcript must include commencement and completion dates  
  • 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. 
  • Agent Declaration Form (21 KB) – if you have nominated an agent to act on your behalf. 
  • **Please make sure you have arranged for a certificate of good standing confirming current registration from overseas

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.
