Competence assessment programmes

Internationally qualified nurses applying for registration in New Zealand may be required to successfully complete a competence assessment programme to demonstrate their ability to meet the competencies for their scope of practice. New Zealand nurses who have been out of practice for five years or more are also required under the Health Practitioners Competence Assurance Act 2003 to complete a competence assessment programme prior to being issued with a practising certificate. Competency Assessment Programmes are offered by an accredited service provider or jointly by an accredited service provider and school of nursing Click here for the Standards for competence assessment programmes Approved compentence assessment programme providers (Last updated 26 May 2010) Auckland District Health Board Nursing Development Unit Auckland City Hospital Auckland District Health Board P O Box 92024, Auckland 1142 Email roannec@adhb.govt.nz www.adhb.govt.nz Tel: (09) 307 4949 Ext. 23989     Bay of Plenty District Health Board Bay of Plenty District Health Board Cnr Clarke St and 20th Ave Private Bag 12024 TAURANGA 3143 www.bopdhb.govt.nz Tel: (07) 579 8000     Christchurch Polytechnic Institute of Technology School of Nursing Faculty of Health Sciences Madra Street P.O.
