03
Assemble your documents and checks

Orientation and, for Stream B, the outcomes-based assessment
Where the orientation and assessment steps fit in your route, if your stream needs them.
05
Apply to Ahpra for registration
Submit through the Ahpra portal and respond to anything Ahpra asks for.
06
Work, skills assessment and your first weeks

Questions
Before you start
I trained in one country and work in another. Does that matter?
Yes, and Migo plans for both. Tell it where you trained and where you live and work now, for example the Gulf or the UK, and your plan includes the good-standing letters and police certificates that come from each.
Does Migo help me pass the exams?
No. Migo is not a course and does not teach exam content. It plans your registration route, explains each stage from the official sources, and keeps track of your documents and what comes next. If your route includes an exam, the plan shows where it fits.
What does it cost?
Your plan and the AI guidance are free. Credits are only used if you choose an optional expert add-on, and packs start at $5 (card payment in USD). Registration, assessment and application fees are paid to the organisations that charge them, not to Migo.
Is Migo part of Ahpra, the NMBA or ANMAC?
No. Migo is an independent service and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Ahpra, the NMBA or ANMAC. Every step links to the official source, and Migo does not give legal or immigration advice.
