AHPRA’s 2025 registration changes were announced as a fast track for internationally qualified nurses — but the reality has been messy for many applicants. 

In this episode, Rhea Fawole (Principal Lawyer at SOLVi Migration) explains why Pathway 2 isn’t happening the way it was announced, what the practical impacts are (including redirected applicants and longer processing times), and what nurses should do now.

What you’ll learn:

• Why Pathway 2 is redirecting many applicants into an outcomes-based assessment.
• 
  
• How processing delays are impacting all applicants.
• 
  
• Why the NMBA’s post-2017 qualification requirement has created confusion.
• 
  
• Practical options now.
• 
  
• What to expect next (in 2026!).
