specific question
I am a nurse who is currently working and living in the uk. we, as a family are moving to aus next ear. we have lived there before and i have maintained my registration with the aus nursing council.
However if i was to apply for the new visa on my nursing qualification i would need to do the english test etc and incur all the costs that go along withthis.
My wife is a social worker so we can obtain the visa on her alone.
The question is.... if i was in aus and holding my registration with the nursing c ouncil over there would i still need to undertake the tests and costs?
Hope the question is clear enough as it confuses me !

Re: specific question
That is the whole point i am reg with them, but when applying for a visa you need to undertake the english test and prove you have taken it.
It is daft, i was thinking that if i was in aus then i wouldnt need to pay out and do the test, but i bet i blinking well do

Re: specific question
If you are going as a dependant on your wife's visa application then you do not need to do IELTS.
