There are three main levels of nursing care: Registered, Enrolled and Assistants. The level of care that is required will determine the type of nurse that is required. See our separate explanation on each level of nursing care.

This is the highest level of nurse. This nurse will have at least three years training and will be registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency.
