The Austral ian Preparatory Program (International Qualif ied Nurse) is a unique program designed to fully prepare overseas qualif ied nurses, who are required by the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Austral ia (NMBA) as part of the Austral ian Health Practit ioners Regulation Authority (AHPRA), to undertake an Outcome Based Assessment ( OBA ) to apply for registration as a nurse in Austral ia.

For over a decade, Education Training & Employment Austral ia (ETEA) was the largest Austral ian provider of the bridging program, Init ial Registration Program for Overseas Registered Nurses (IRON). ETEA successfully delivered this program to over 3,500 international nurses Austral ia wide.

Our strong ties with the Austral ian healthcare industry backed by structured theoretical content of our OBA Program wil l better assist IQN to achieve their goal of acquiring Austral ian Registration.

On our NCLEX-RN Review Program, we partnered with RA Gapuz from the Phil ippines, who boasts high number of successful passers of the theoretical examination conducted by the National Council Licensure Examination for over 25 years.

Also, ETEA offers four-weeks of OSCE (Objective Structured Clinical Examination) Preparatory Program including two-weeks of Clinical Placement with an Austral ian healthcare faci l ity with acute setting.

ETEA’s OBA Program aims to produce high number of successful IQN gaining Austral ian qualif ications.
