thanks for replying - he is a community nurse so not sure if that is the issue. I don't suppose you know the status for community nurses on the Sunshine Coast? Or know of any working for companies who provide community care? Thinking of the new hospital opens next month there may be an increase in demand for community nurses after patients are discharged?

Hi Steve just jumping onto the thread! My husband is a RN - struggling to get a job on Sunshine Coast (or in fact anywhere in Oz it seems!) Just wondering how you managed to secure the job to go to? Any advice warmly received!!!! Thanks

Hi we are planning to move over in August - my husband is a community nurse in the UK but is having no luck even getting an interview for a job. There seem to be a lot of agencies saying that they can get him casual shifts when he is in Australia. He hasn't worked in a hospital in the UK for a long time so isn't sure if he could get shifts on medical wards but he is mainly after a community role. I have a few questions if anyone has or is doing agency work! 1. We are really flexible where we move to in Australia as there is just the 2 of us - we love the Sunshine Coast/Brisbane area but unsure of exactly where to go to get the most work especially community nursing. Once we are there he will apply for jobs but we are floundering a bit about where to head to! Any suggestions for areas there is a demand for community nurses. He can also work in aged care! 2. Are you getting regular shifts?? I will probably stay in the UK for 3 months as I am reluctant to give up a good job in the Uk if my husband isn't getting work! Thanks
