Your Austrian target role
We discuss whether DGKP, Pflegefachassistenz (PFA) or Pflegeassistenz (PA) is the role you intend to pursue. We do not assign an Austrian professional title; the competent authority assesses your qualification.

Austria Nursing Recognition Review
Understand your nursing-qualification route before spending money on the wrong documents or accepting a start date you cannot yet meet. This is an independent planning review, not an authority decision.
What we review together
The meeting connects the parts of your case. It does not replace a formal completeness check or decision by the responsible authority.
Recognition route and evidence
We organize the diploma, transcript, curriculum and clinical-hour evidence you provide, and identify gaps to clarify. Recognition and nostrification are different procedures; we point to the official route finder rather than promising a decision.
German and professional registration
We identify the language and Health Care Professions Register questions for your intended role. Registration is required before practising Austrian nursing professions; we cannot register you or waive the requirements.
Order of work and residence steps
We separate professional recognition, job search and immigration so you can see dependencies and questions for the employer or authority. The meeting is a planning service, not an application or permit decision.
What to prepare
Bring readable copies of what you already have. Missing records can be part of the discussion; do not buy translations before you know which version and format are needed.
- Your target role, current country and main questions
- CV and nursing diploma or qualification certificate
- Transcript, curriculum and clinical-hours records, if available
- German proof, work references and any authority or employer letters
Do not put passport numbers, medical records or document scans in the public booking notes. Ask how to share sensitive material before sending it.
