I need to get registered again

Renewal of registration programs are for those whose registration with the Nurses and Midwives Board of Western Australia (NMBWA) or any other Australian or New Zealand Board has lapsed. Those from interstate and New Zealand may apply, but priority of placement in a program will be given to those committed to working for WA Health upon successful program completion.

WA Health offers Renewal of registration programs for enrolled nurses (ENs), registered nurses (RNs) and midwives.

NOTE: Due to high demands, the EN and RN Renewal of Registration Programs offered in 2010 are currently FULL.

Applications for the 2010 Midwifery Renewal of Registration Programs are still available. Please check the requirements before applying for the programs.

A renewal of registration program for mental health nurses is currently only offered at Edith Cowan University (external site).
