ANMAC will not be offering waivers/text exemptions for ELP. Internationally qualified nurses and midwives seeking a waiver/test exemption are able to apply for a modified skills assessment after having their ELP assessed by AHPRA/NMBA for registration. Modified skills assessments do not require the submission of English language test results.
This does not affect the English criteria for visa applications. This is only for skills assessment
