Pre-Employment Structured Clinical interview (PESCI)

The Pre-Employment Structured Clinical Interview (PESCI) is an essential assessment conducted to evaluate the clinical knowledge, communication skills, and professional competence of internationally qualified nurses and midwives seeking registration and employment in Australia. Administered by accredited organizations such as Oyamed Australia, the PESCI is designed to determine whether a candidate is suitable for practice in the Australian healthcare system. The structured format ensures consistency and fairness, focusing on scenario-based questions that reflect real clinical situations. Oyamed Australia provides this assessment in alignment with the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (NMBA) standards, ensuring that candidates meet the necessary criteria to deliver safe and effective care within the Australian context.
