Separate training cities from examination venues
A course advertised in Sydney, Perth or overseas does not make that city an RN OSCE examination location. Use the current NMBA examination page and your allocation letter. Venue staff and private course providers do not control Ahpra’s examination allocations. NMBA registered-nurse examinations.
Who to contact about allocation
Send questions about availability, attendance, changed circumstances or missing correspondence to the IQNM Exams Team. The Board’s examination page asks candidates not to contact the host venues about the OSCE. Keep copies of your case correspondence so the Team can identify what needs to be resolved. NMBA registered-nurse examinations.
Before booking travel
Confirm the city, date, time and reporting instructions in your own allocation letter. Check transport and accommodation against the actual venue details in that letter. A monthly examination cycle does not guarantee the city or month you prefer, and an eligibility letter is not a travel booking. RN OSCE Candidate Handbook, 7 July 2026.
Keep a practical travel checklist
Check passport and visa validity, personal medication arrangements, local transport and the cancellation terms of bookings. Follow the handbook’s attendance and identity instructions. If you require an adjustment, use the prescribed process in advance rather than assuming it can be arranged on arrival. RN OSCE Candidate Handbook, 7 July 2026.
