Registration – Local and overseas
Local registration requirements are different from overseas registration requirements. Sydney Nursing School can provide assistance in that process.
Local registration
If you have completed a nursing or midwifery course in Australia, you are eligible* to register as a nurse or midwife through the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia which supervises registrations and renewals.
The Board will provide you with the statutory guidelines for registered nurses and midwives. Members of the public are entitled to expect nurses and midwives to conduct themselves in accord with these guidelines and standards.

Overseas registration
If you require OVERSEAS REGISTRATION, a different process will apply.
