From 1 July 2009 - Changes to the Board’s English Language Requirements

In a move towards a National standard for English language competence, the Board has accepted the following changes to the minimum standard of demonstrated English language required for the registration in Victoria of nurses and midwives who have trained outside Australia:

1.  ALL applicants applying for registration who have undertaken their nursing education outside Australia, must from 1 July 2009, demonstrate English language competence.

2.  ALL applicants required to demonstrate English language competence must achieve the prescribed test result as set out below:

- International English Language Testing System (IELTS) – Academic test: a score of at least 7 in all four components of IELTS (Reading; Listening; Writing and Speaking) with an overall band score of at least 7;

OR

- Occupational English Test (OET) – Nursing Version: a B pass or above in all four sections.

3.  Applicants must achieve the above scores at a single test sitting and the test must have been completed within two (2) years.

4.  The English Language Tests are only valid for two (2) years from the date of the test.

5.  From 1 July 2009 nurses and midwives who have undertaken their nursing education outside Australia AND have worked continuously in English as a registered nurse or midwife for a period of no less than twelve (12) months (which has occurred no more than six [6] months prior to the date of application) in either the United States of America, United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland, Canada or New Zealand will no longer be granted a waiver of the English language skills test.

The Board will comply with letters of requirements issued prior to 1 July 2009; however there will be no extension on letters issued prior to 1 July 2009. Should a nurse request an extension of the requirement letter, they will be requested to provide the Board’s new English language requirement.
