Renewal of Registration
In Australia, State Nurses Boards require Registered Nurses to renew their registration on an annual basis. In New Zealand, registration should be renewed annually before 31st March. Now is the time to make sure that the nurses board has your correct address, so that they can send you reminder notices, and any other news.

Your employer may ask to see your registration documents as a start to the New Year. Make sure your registration is up to date. If it needs renewal, renew it! If your registration expires you will be practising illegally, and will not be allowed to work. At the same time, make sure you don’t let your registration in your home country expire. It is time consuming and costly to re-register if you let your registration lapse, and plan to work when you go home.

Practice Safely! Stay Registered!

Emma Earl at Sir Charles
"Moving to Australia was probably the hardest decision of my life, having to leave family, friends and the life I knew to move to the other side of the world. My first four weeks in Australia continued to be extremely difficult, but with determination and support it has now turned into the best decision I have made. Working and living in Australia has been a dream come true, a dream that would not of been possible without Healthstaff Recruitment.Their continuous support and reassurance has been with me the whole step of the way, from the first time I rang up to the day I flew out. Their support and encouragement has allowed me to fulfill a dream which would of ended upalways being a maybe". Emma Earl, RN, Sir Charles, Perth
