• Book a date for AMC 1 exam via the portal and successfully pass your exam
• Pass English Language Proficiency Exams
• Ensure recency of practice
• Start looking for jobs
  •  If successful, apply for limited registration with AHPRA and start work
    • If you get a place in a WBA accredited hospital, apply for limited registration and complete the WBA program successfully
    • If you get a place in a non WBA accredited, apply for limited registration and prepare for AMC 2
• If unsuccessful, utilize this time to prepare for AMC 2. If you get a job after you pass your AMC 2, apply for provisional registration
