When should I prepare my graduate application?
Use the current Ahpra graduate instructions and gather evidence before your intended start date.
What this means for your study decision
Graduate applications involve evidence as well as course completion. Preparing identity and other required documents early can help you understand the steps, but does not determine the regulator’s processing time or decision.
Use Ahpra’s current graduate instructions for application timing and required documents. Coordinate your intended work start with the actual registration outcome rather than treating a graduation date as authority to begin EN practice.
