簡單來說,澳洲的護士執照分為3個等級:
1.基礎級Assistant in Nursing(AN):所謂的助理護士,在澳洲助理護士并不算是真正的護士喔。
2.第2級是登記護士-Enrolled Nurses(EN),或稱為Registered nurse division 2,一般是念完當地的專科(Diploma),完成Division 2課程,即可能為登記護士,登記護士(EN)一般必須在正式注冊護士的陪同及監督下作業。
3.第3級是注冊護士-Registered Nurses(RN),或稱為Registered nurse division 1,RN是澳洲大學(Bachelor)畢業護士,完成Division 1課程,可以在醫院裡獨立作業。在往下細分就有精神科護士、照顧智力不足人士的特殊護士、護理顧問、護理教育師、護士主任等更高的級別。
值得注意的是,目前在移民職業清單與人才引進清單上護理人員的邀請標準為RN,如果只持有EN執照,是不達標的。
這幾種護士資格在范圍、職責和薪資水準皆有不同。基本上,Registered nurse的層級較高,且負責指導Enrolled nurse的。大致來說,EN不得給藥、打點滴、靜脈抽血和注射。澳洲護士培訓
