How To Get A Nursing Job In Australia

With the shortage of nurses in Australia, getting a job may seem like a piece of cake. They need your skills and knowledge, after all. But before you apply, you must meet several criteria to qualify.

These include your age, level of English proficiency, and your nursing qualifications and where you obtained them. Your qualifications will be assessed by the relevant Australian authority. It is only after successful assessment that you can register with the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia. You must meet with the Board Registration standards to be accepted.

You can get a nursing job by applying for a visa even for a short period of time such as a working holidaymaker, or on a longer basis such as for Permanent Residency or Employer Sponsored Workers Visa. There also instances when the Australian Government will invite you to apply for a visa, depending on your skills or qualifications.

The Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia has downloadable guides that you can use throughout the visa application process. Visit the site and check out the Registration and Endorsement page at www.nursingmidwiferyboard.gov.au.

Job sponsorships, on the other hand, are where your future as a nurse in Australia lies in the hands of your future employer. If you meet the skills and qualifications which an employer is looking for, they can offer a job sponsorship for you.

However first, you must present yourself as a qualified candidate. Make sure to prepare for a professional Australian resume, and then send it to the company you want to work for. In some cases, you may need to do some research, because not all vacancies will be publicly advertised.
