Really nice to read other people's positive stories i was working in Middle East and sharing house with Aussie girl so decided to give Australia a go. Got 457 visa very easily (I'm a nurse ) and got job in Sydney. lived in hospital accommodation and really explored the area on time off. Moved to Hobart and Alice Springs in my quest to see as much as possible. After Alice I returned to the Uk and got job in Nhs. Wow what a shock was spoken to like dirt and after 15 months of crap pay and ridiculous pt loads ,I returned to Australia. Tried Brisbane and Hobart but finally arrived in Darwin and love the place. Been here on/ off since 2009 and trained as a dialysis nurse. Money heaps better than Nhs and I'm working primarily with the indigenous. Spent 4 yrs working out in remote communities and just moved back to live in a city for awhile. Had some amazing experiences and met fantastic people. There have been hard times and the death of my Dad back home and leaving the care of Mum to my siblings, has really been hard.Fab employers allow meto take lwop and go home twice a year Love Australia and have many very good friends here

hi welcome to Darwin hope you're having fun Perfect time to arrive am heading overseas tomorrow for 3 weeks,but would be happy to catch up when i get back

Hiya I'm a staff nurse originally from Hull ,but been in oz awhile now A lot of overseas nurses are struggling to get work here as many new grads not finding jobs Maybe talk to agencies and check out their vacancies Had friends arrive in WA and in Victoria and not find work I've always traveled solo and getting to know new people rarely a problem I'm currently working in dialysis in Darwin and earning more than double what i got at home and i only work 4 days a week

Hi I'm moving back to Darwin in Jan and would love to catch up with fellow poms I'm a 50 yr old ,single nurse I've been living remote for last 2 yrs and looking forward to Darwin
