Hi all,

Just a query as in a quandry.....

Have started gathering the docs to register with NZ Nursing council (IELTS complete; police checks done; transcript from NMC) but am going to Australia later in the year for a good look around as I have, for ages, been in two minds about which country to go for!

If I do get NZ reg and then I decide on going to Oz instead, can I transfer it across?

OR which is the easiest to get initially to then transfer under trans-tasman or whatever it is??

I've been reading that when you get Oz reg you have to present in person at an office to complete the process; this is something I could do on my visit I guess?

Does that make sense?

Any advice welcomed

Hi, I'm hoping to come on a 457. I'm like you; been in community for years.

Keep checking out seek.com.au - that's where I see community jobs in my field. Might give you a look in..

Oh, and I'm sure community jobs are on the SOL lists so imagine they could be state sponsored.

I don't think that's ok! Following from APHRA website:

"Outside Australia, the following people are authorised to certify documents:

• Justice of the Peace
  
• Notary public
  
• Australian Consular Officer or Australian Diplomatic Officer (within the meaning of the Consular Fees Act 1955)
  
• Employee of the Commonwealth or the Australian Trade Commission who works outside Australia."
