Author	deferred graduate
Sally (offline) Joined: Jan 2013 Location: Posts: 15	Fri Oct 26, 2018 7:10 pm Hi guys, Anybody knows the requirements to apply as a deferred graduate in Australia. In my case, I completed my course back on December 22nd 2016, i am aware to apply as a new graduate i need to get my registration within two years after I completed my course as an EN. What are the requirements if I will apply after two years since I finished my course, since i need to pass the OET to get my registration. I rang and email AHPRA a few times, nobody has given me a right information.

This is from AHPRA site: Deferred graduates If you graduate from an approved program of study and then delay applying for registration, you may be considered a ‘deferred graduate’. Graduates who have deferred an application for a period of 1-2 years after course completion may fall into this category. If you are considered a deferred graduate, you will be unable to apply online, and will need to complete the relevant Application for registration form. The specific timeframe is available in your profession’s Recency of practice registration standard on your National Board website. There is information on Nurses Board Recency of Practice page that is relevant and I would suggest direct contact with them regarding your options https://www.nursingmidwiferyboard.gov.au/Registration-Standards/Recency-of-practice.aspx Good luck and let us know how you get on modified: Saturday 07 September 2019 2:23:30 pm - Darren

I suggest take the initiative and give your contact officer a phone call on Monday asking where they are up to and if there is anything you need to do that will help with their decision.
