Depending on the nursing profession, nostrification procedures are carried out either by Austrian universities of applied sciences or by the local offices of the regional government responsible for such matters, as follows:
- Education equivalent to a degree in Health and Nursing Care: Austrian universities of applied sciences
- Education equivalent to a nursing assistant level 2: Office of the provincial government concerned
- Education equivalent to a nursing assistant level 1: Office of the provincial government concerned
The Guide directs you to the relevant authorities and helps you differentiate between nostrification and recognition.
