Professional accreditation
Bachelor of Nursing (onshore - within Australia) Bachelor of Midwifery
The Bachelor of Nursing (Onshore) and the Bachelor of Midwifery programs at Griffith University are accredited by the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Accreditation Council (ANMAC).
Successful completion of the Bachelor of Nursing program leads to eligibility to apply for registration as a nurse with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) only. Successful completion of the Bachelor of Midwifery program leads to eligibility to apply for registration as a midwife with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) only.
Please note that registration with AHPRA does not guarantee registration with a registration authority outside of Australia.
Overseas Registration
International professional recognition
As professional nursing and midwifery registration authorities set their own requirements for registration, graduates from the Bachelor of Nursing (Onshore), Bachelor of Nursing (Offshore) and Bachelor of Midwifery may be advised by nursing or midwifery registration authorities that there are additional training requirements that need to be completed before registration in that country can be granted. If this is the outcome of your request for overseas registration, unfortunately Griffith University is not able to provide any further assistance regarding regulatory requirements overseas.
Please note that: Registration as a nurse or midwife with AHPRA does not guarantee registration with a nursing or midwifery registration authority outside of Australia.
