Veterinary nurse registration requirements vary across Australia. Currently, Western Australia is the only state where qualified veterinary nurses must be registered.
In Western Australia, veterinary nurses must apply for registration with the Veterinary Practice Board of Western Australia (VPBWA) before working as a veterinary nurse. Registration is not automatic upon completing your qualification.
