Emmadoomers 0 Posted July 19, 2019 Hi folks, I am a nurse with one year's post-grad experience. Since successfully submitting an expression of interest to skill select, 65 points 189 and 70 state sponsored, I have been reading about needing 2 year's experience. This did not impede the EOI and I still got the points. I am registered with AHPRA. Has anyone out there been in a similar situation? Any help appreciated!

Emma Hi Emma, The conditions for 190 are different for every state. Victoria does require two years of experience. NSW doesn't but the wait is very long.

Emmadoomers 0 Posted July 19, 2019 Thank you so much for your help. I specifically want to live in Melbourne as I have connections there so it's looking like I will have to wait a year? I did work as a HCA during all of my training, but I doubt that qualifies as relevant work experience? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If yes, and less than 2 years ago, then you qualify as a recent graduate and can apply to Victoria without work experience. You'll have to get your skill assessment from anmac first though.

Emmadoomers 0 Posted July 21, 2019 Thank you for your reply. Yes I graduated last year with a bachelor with honours but it was from a UK university. Does that still count? Were you also in that situation? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think they look for 2 year's experience also but I've seen positive skills assessments used in lieu of this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
