How to Choose the Best Agency to Migrate to Australia Through the New AHPRA Pathway for Nurses

Are you a nurse dreaming of a better career and lifestyle in Australia? With the introduction of the new AHPRA pathway, migrating to Australia has become more straightforward for UK-registered nurses and internationally qualified nurses. However, choosing the right migration agency is crucial to ensure a smooth, stress-free process.
In this blog, we’ll guide you on how to choose the best agency to help you migrate to Australia as a nurse through the AHPRA pathway.
1. Make Sure the Agency Specializes in Nurse Migration
The AHPRA (Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency) registration process is specific to nurses and includes eligibility checks, documentation, and professional assessments. Choose an agency that:
- Has a proven track record in nursing migration
- Understands the AHPRA standards
- Can guide you through the entire registration and visa process
2. Verify Their Expertise in the AHPRA Pathway
With the new streamlined pathway, nurses with:
- 1800 hours of work experience in the UK , ireland and other countries in the Comparable Jurisdiction since January 1st, 2017
- A BSc Nursing, Post BSc, or any recognized nursing degree
- And current nurse registration and education in any Comparable Jurisdiction based on the pathway
may now qualify for migration to Australia without any exam.
Make sure your agency is up to date with these latest criteria and can accurately assess your eligibility.
3. Check for Transparency and Clear Communication
The right agency will be:
- Open about requirements, timelines, and fees
- Quick to respond to your queries
- Supportive through each step — from eligibility check to AHPRA registration and visa application
Avoid agencies that are vague or overpromise.
4. Look for Real Success Stories and Reviews
Agencies with real nursing migration success will often share:
- Video testimonials from placed nurses
- Case studies
- Google or Facebook reviews
These stories show you’re not just trusting a service — you’re joining a community of successful migrants.
5. Evaluate Support Beyond Registration
Top agencies do more than just paperwork. Look for agencies that also offer:
- Guidance for document preparation
- Support with AHPRA application and verification
- Visa assistance
- Help with job placement or post-landing support in Australia
This comprehensive approach ensures you’re not left on your own after registration.
