Registration standard: English language skills (common standard)
All registered health practitioners are required to effectively communicate with their patients, providing clear and straightforward information as needed.
In Australia, every individual applying for registration must satisfy the English language skills standard set by their respective National Board. This requirement is applicable to both Australian-trained and internationally qualified applicants.
This standard ensures that registered health practitioners can safely practice within Australia.
While the standard does not affect students, it is mandatory for graduates and those applying for registration in Australia for the first time.
