I am hoping to relocated with OH sponsored early next year,what do I need to have in place to get a nursing job?? I have mnost recently worked on a busy surgical unit.
What docs do I need for the state registration boards ( unsure if it is NSW or QLD )What do I need certifying and what evidence do my employers or the reg board require.If I remember a friend needed certified copies signed by solicitor / accountant is this correct???
What can I do here to ease the process as I don't want to get over there to find I could've done stuff at my own pace whilst I am here?
I am fortunate I do not need to work but want to work the right job at the right hours that suit the family.
Hi Annelouise, If you want to get registration in Oz you should download and print the relevant application forms from the websites. In Oz you have to get registration in the area you want to work in. So if you have two areas you are thinking about working in you will have to get registration in both those areas. After you have printed out the applications forms there should be a verification form in the bundles which you have to fill in and send to the NMC who will in turn reply to you with yet another form asking for address of where they need to send form to and payment. I am not sure whether the amount they ask for is for one address or more, but the cost is initially £34:00. in the application form is a checklist for the docs required, and to get them verified you can only use a solicitor, justice of the peace or Notary public. try solicitor first, some will do it per amount of copies, where notary public could do it per sheet. you should photocopy qualifications,certificates, long birth certificates (you may have to obtain them like I did) for the whole family. A reference on headed note paper from latest employer plus application form and fees, which are about £150:00 and that is just for nursing registration. I would suggest that you have duplicates of your photocopies as you may need them for visa application and it may be cheaper getting them certified in one go. sorry its so long.
Hello nurses/midwives already in Oz. I'm Kate and a midwife of 9 years,my husband is a fireman. We have 4 kids under 8 years. My husband is close to securing a job with Queensland Fire & rescue but needs a work visa. Unfortunately, they don't sponsor/employer nominate so I've looked at securing the visa. However, I've worked 15 hrs a week for the last year (because of child care) and therefore can't meet skilled independant despite the +ve skills assessment etc etc. The hospitals are willing to sponsor but if I work full time it will clash big time with the fire service shifts!
Over here, I work when he is off duty. My only hope is if I can come to a similar arrangement and work long days/ maybe before his 1st night ? Do any of you guys work long days out there? We really liked Townsville hospital but they only work 8's, so now I'm grovelling to the Royal Brisbane Womens hospital.
Failing that, I'll have to 'up the hours' and try next year?
