Key Insights for Registered Nurse (Medical Practice)

    Still 10 points above the legal minimum. Despite easing, Registered Nurse (Medical Practice) remains competitive. Applicants significantly below 75 points are unlikely to receive invitations soon.

  • ℹ

    5 rounds so far in FY25-26. Registered Nurse (Medical Practice) has been included in 5 invitation rounds this financial year. More rounds generally indicate sustained demand from the Department.
