nursing registration WA

[crazyh3]

I have been granted permanent residency visa and went through the whole skills assessment and passed with flying colours....now I am applying for registration with the NMBWA and am being asked to prove my english language skills....i have lost my o level certificates that i took 25 years ago and think that i will now have to sit the IELTS exam to prove my english skills...born and bred in england worked in england in the NHS for 23 yrs!!

Has anyone had similar problems and is there any way around this?
We are moving to perth in June this year.

It sutterly ridiculous isnt it-born & bred in the UK 3yrs at uni and then 5 yrs nursing-and the WA nursing board still wanted copies of my GCSE english levels-someone needs to change this stipulation!!
