  1. 1

    Prepare Materials (School Application)

    • Organize academic and language materials based on the list of target courses and schools.
    • If the requirements are not yet met, you can apply for a language pathway program/packaged course (ELICOS/internal test) first.
    • Name the electronic versions of documents uniformly (in English) for easy reuse in subsequent visa applications.
  2. 2

    Briefing on School-Arranged Interview (if applicable)

    • Submit application materials, including transcripts, passport, and English proficiency proof, to the State Department of Education.
    • School review: The Department of Education recommends schools based on the student's situation, and the school arranges an interview after its review.
    • Interview notification: An email will specify the interview time, method (usually Zoom or Teams), and preparation details.
    • Interview content: A conversation in English including self-introduction, interests, academic situation, future plans, and a comprehensive assessment of learning habits, adaptability, reasons for coming to Australia, etc. The duration is approximately 15-30 minutes.
  3. 3

    Submit School Application

    • Submit the application through the school's official website or an agent's portal and pay the application fee (if any).
    • Submit supplementary documents as required and track the admission progress (Conditional/Unconditional Offer).
    • After meeting the conditions, pay the tuition deposit and complete the acceptance procedure (Accept Offer).
  4. 4

    Obtain CoE and Arrange OSHC

    • The school issues the CoE (Confirmation of Enrolment).
    • Purchase/confirm OSHC to cover the entire visa period (including dependents, if any).
  5. 5

    Visa Document Preparation (Subclass 500)

    • Organize documents for finances, GTE, English proficiency, and medical examination, ensuring consistency with the chosen course.
    • Check the letterheads, dates, translation formats, and certification requirements of visa documents.

The school's visa assessment level determines the risk level for students applying for a visa and is a significant reference.

For example, if a school's visa assessment level is 2, the applicant will face more restrictions and be required to provide more written evidence, such as proof of language proficiency and financial capacity.

    Qualification

DescriptionsCertificate Qualification

This qualification reflects the role of enrolled nurses with advanced skills who work in a specialised area of nursing practice under the direct or indirect supervision of a registered nurse.

Enrolled nurses integrate and adapt specialised, technical and theoretical knowledge to address a diverse range of clinical situations and challenges in their area of specialisation. They contribute to the continuous improvement of clinical practice using research and participation in broader organisational quality processes. Enrolled nurses retain responsibility for their own actions while remaining accountable to the registered nurse for all delegated functions.

To be eligible to apply for registration as an enrolled nurse and to practice in Australia, individuals must complete a Diploma of Nursing program accredited by the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Accreditation Council (ANMAC) and approved as ‘an approved program of study’ by the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (NMBA) in accordance with the Enrolled Nurse Accreditation Standards. To confirm the education provider holds the necessary accreditation check the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) at www.ahpra.gov.au.

The scope of practice for enrolled nurses is determined by legislative requirements and the policies and procedures of the employing organisation.

No other licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this qualification at the time of publication.
