Guest sunflower Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Hi Mel Me again I'll just send you one reply this time... My understanding is that salaries are worked out on your years/hours of experience. I was told about this site, although I haven't got around to looking at it yet. jobs@health.wa.gov.au What area of nursing are you in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sunflower Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Hi Mel, sorry for the delay, have been away I'm a senior nurse is A&E with 7yrs experience. I'm not too familiar with the different levels apart from that they begin with RN level 1 then go 1:2, !:3 etc with the years of experience you have. This you have to prove to obtain your salary scale. I found this web site with all sorts of info on it. Only glanced at it briefly, but it does give pay scales, and other news. See what you think? http://www.anf.org.au/ With regards to my application, I have just received verification from the NMC of Victoria, WA, QLD, & NZ. I updated my practise certificate for NZ so I may apply under the modified skills assessment very soon. Let me know how you get on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mel & Ed Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 Hi Sunflower, I hadnt read this before i replied to other thread.. Im a bit confused(or thick) but i thought i had to send my skills assessment to the ANMC(Ausralian NMC) which covers whole of Oz. The NMC here have just sent my verification to ANMC but not a specific region is that wrong..Im just putting together all my paperwork to send in for skills assessment of nursing, do i have to send it to a specific area??? Please help.. Thanks Melanie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sunflower Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 Hi Mel My understanding is that you do only have to send your stuff to ANMC for skills assessment, this is for the 136 independant skills visa. for all of Australia. This application is not the same as the registration process in separate states, but they will have all your info for when you do register. The web site was just one I found when searching for pay scales. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sunflower Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Thanks Sharon, Where in Oz did you work, and how was your experience of it all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest scoop Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Hi Sunflower I did most of my nursing in Sydney working for an agency so lots of locations both private and public. I enjoyed the experience immensely and found the care to be of a high standard and the support you gain very good. I did a placement in Darwin which was good too if a little frantic! I personally wish to work in a public hospital, just because I like trauma care! I'm looking to work and settle in Northern Rivers NSW but it's all about where the work is now I have a baby. Hope this helps? Anything else I can do please feel free Sharon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Nadine Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 hello there!, am currently F grade practice nurse in gp surgey in England, have been qualified 8 years, does anybody know if many vacancies for practice nurses and what is equivelent of F grade in Australia please :?: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest scoop Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Hi Nadine Looking on the web sites there are a few practice nurse positions available and if you have management qualification I think you will be a level 2 nurse in Australia. you would be best advised to visit the relevant website for the state in which you wish to settle they should have a pay scale for you to look at. Hope this helps. All the best with it Sharon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
