the gardener Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I am a nurse in Sydney and have been turned down by 3 hospitals for 457 sponsorship despite the Nums stating I was an excellent candidate. I have been here for 4 years on a 457. It seems like the District's policy has changed ,I may have to go back to UK. Anyone had similar experience?

xxlornaxx Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Thought about a different state? Or getting 189? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gardener Posted October 20, 2016 Author Share Posted October 20, 2016 Thank you,a different State may be the way. Im over 50,too old for 189 !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roberta2 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Tried Queensland? I know only what I read in the papers - which is that the Newman government made some pretty savage cuts to nursing numbers which are being restored by the Palaszczuk government.

Danielle9 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 The hospital I worked at in Sydney had more UK nurses than Australian they were all on 457. It was a private hospital though maybe try that route if they were government hospitals that turned you down. Or try somewhere out of the main cities and go for the 187 visa Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERYSTORMY Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Are you aware though that it may be impossible to gain pr in the future and that you have to return to the UK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bungo Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Are you aware though that it may be impossible to gain pr in the future and that you have to return to the UK? I think "may be impossible" is putting it mildly. It will almost certainly be impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemesis Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I think "may be impossible" is putting it mildly. It will almost certainly be impossible. TBH to get a 457 as a nurse over 50 the OP will need to have a very sought after particular skill - not just general nursing but a specific area. And I agree, very unlikely to ever get PR on a skills basis now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
