ANMAC · Health

Australian Nursing & Midwifery Accreditation Council

ANMAC assesses nursing and midwifery occupations for migration. Migration assessment and AHPRA professional registration are related but separate processes.

Assessing focus

Registered nurses, enrolled nurses and midwives

A positive assessment confirms the authority's criteria for the nominated occupation. It does not by itself guarantee visa eligibility, state nomination, registration or employment.

ANMAC updates SMS fees periodically; confirm the selected pathway in the official fee schedule before lodgement.

The clock commonly depends on a complete application and may pause or restart after further-information requests.

XIVisa document strategy

Prepare the ANMAC application around the later visa objective.

We can review the nominated occupation, assessment pathway, qualification relevance, employment evidence and the dates that may be usable in the later EOI or visa application.
