AHPRA’s 2025 registration changes were announced as a fast track for internationally qualified nurses — but the reality has been messy for many applicants.
In this episode, Rhea Fawole (Principal Lawyer at SOLVi Migration) explains why Pathway 2 isn’t happening the way it was announced, what the practical impacts are (including redirected applicants and longer processing times), and what nurses should do now.
What you’ll learn:
- Why Pathway 2 is redirecting many applicants into an outcomes-based assessment.
- How processing delays are impacting all applicants.
- Why the NMBA’s post-2017 qualification requirement has created confusion.
- Practical options now.
- What to expect next (in 2026!).
