Guest moores2melbourne Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Hello nurses! As I would be coming over on a sponsored visa, could any nurses who have been sponsored, let me know by which hospitals? We are looking at Victoria and WA at the moment. Really would like Victoria but may have to go to WA. Thank you Lynn :v_SPIN: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest annelouise Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 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. Any advice very welcome. annelouise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dmurtagh Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 :chatterbox::swoon: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.

Guest KAD+4 Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 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?

I also have also worked around my husband in the UK but I just could not do this here. I managed to get the visa and my husband had to work around me. it was so stressful I would not recommend it to anyone. the children were constantly in breakfast club at 7am which broke my heart! However after 6 months of hell my husband managed to secure a visa from his workplace and I now work off his. So instead of working 4 to 5 nighs a week I now work 3. Good luck to you. karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nursekelly Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Hi everyone I'm new to this website and would be really appreciative of some basic info if anyone can help. I'm a second year paediatric student nurse and have the opportunity to "top up" my Adv Dip to a degree in my 3rd year (which starts in September). Is it possible to work in Oz as a newly qualified nurse with a degree? I'm assuming if I stayed on the Adv Dip, I would need a few years experience before being considered? We're really keen to relocated asap after qualifying next September and wondered how soon to start the process seriously? And where would we start - it all seems so daunting?! Can you recommend any good agencies or do they charge? What grade / level of job would I be able to apply for as a newly qualified paediatric nurse with a degree (or Adv Dip if this is sufficient)? I'd love to work in a children's hospital and wondered what the job situation was like for overseas paed nurses? I emailed RCH in Melbourne last week for some information but not heard anything yet. Well, I think I've gone on enough for now (!) and look forward to any advice and comments you might have.

Guest kateben Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Hi Nurse Kelly I chatted to the ANMC (Australian Nursing Midwifery Council) and as I am in the same boat as you, 2nd year student however im Adult branch, I asked if with my Adv Dip, could I work in Oz and his response was yes, most states in Oz accept the Adv Dip, however may require 6-12months experience (depending on how desperate the hospital is to have you!) Although some hospitals do take Grads but again you will have to ask about! I want to work in NSW but for now NSW wont accept Adv Dips, but by july 10 hopefully the australian registration will change to national registration (same as the NMC) so I can! Hope that has helped even a little bit and its not all babble!! Good Luck in your training, hope your enjoying it like I am! Kate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
