Stream overview
Completion of this course enables both internationally registered and locally qualified nurses to seek registration in Australia.
During your studies, you'll build on your professional knowledge and experience as a registered nurse, and enhance your expertise as a member of an interprofessional team in a changing healthcare system.
You will study research, evidence-informed practice, and the biological and behavioural sciences that underlie nursing. You'll be encouraged to problem-solve, identify and assess the needs of individuals and families.
While this stream is designed for nurses who do not have current registration in Australia, it also provides the basis for future postgraduate study, specialisation and research.
How to apply
Apply for the Bachelor of Science (Advanced Nursing) and, in the application portal, select Registered Nurse Conversion – Australian Registration stream. You will need to upload supporting documentation to demonstrate that you meet the entry requirements.
