Guest smogmonster Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Id find that very bizarre, surely to work as a nurse regardless of visa type you'd need to have a skills assessment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JoanneHattersley Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 You must have a skills assessment in order to work as a nurse.

Thats funny Smogmonster because a poster on another forum with the same name as you posted this answer to the same question , which inidentally is why I posted this question. LOL: "No, if youre going on a sponsored visa, then you presumably have a job with a health board, and therefore have been assessed by the relevant state nursing council - thats all you need to apply for your visa. The ANMC (this is where i was confused) does nothing other than assess the nursing skills/education/etc of anyone who applies to it. If youre from the UK/US/Ireland and Canada/RSA depending on a few factors it isnt required. As suggested by Grayling its an unecessary and quite expensive way of not achieving much..."

Alan Collett Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 For all general offshore skilled visa applications (including subclass 176) you must have a skills assessment from the relevant assessing body for your nominated occupation at the time you submit your visa application to the ASPC.
