Why do I need my professional licence translated?
Australian professional registration bodies — including AHPRA for healthcare, state licensing authorities for trades, and skills assessment bodies for migration — require NAATI certified English translations of overseas professional licences and registration certificates.
Your professional licence proves you are qualified and authorised to practise in your home country, which is a key requirement for Australian registration and skills assessment.
