nursing in perth for 6months? is it possible??

[Guest kk1]

Hi all, I apologise if these questions have already been asked, im new to this site and finding it diffilcult to search through the hundreds of posts!

 

I am a registered nurse qualified over 2 years now, i have experience in acute medical receiving and respiratory. My husband and I have been discussing the possibilty of moving to australia however still not 100% and therefore we are considering the option of a working 6 month holiday, however as I have a dependant i am not eligible for the WHV. Therefore could someon please dvice if there is any other options available to me?

 

I have been looking at the 457 visa however have noticed a few comments stating that you are tied to the hospital for 2 years, as we would only like 6 months does this mean this visa would not be suitable?

 

any other options for us? also do you just contact hospitals direct in order to request sponsership?

 

would also consider 6 months in a nursing home.

 

last question we are hoping to come over the 6 months between october 2012 and april 2013 therefore any advice on how far in advace to apply.

 

we would like to come to the perth area and surronding suburbs, as far up as joondalup.

 

thanks in advance and i apologise again if these questions are already in the forum.

Have you spoken to an agent? You say you want a WHV and then say you are not eligible!!

I came over on a 457 in 2005. I was placed in a fantastic place and still work there now!! You are tied to that employer and you are tied to full time work.

I was sponsored by an agency.

would also consider 6 months in a nursing home.

 

I work in a retirement village

All depends on what visa you apply for. 457 are quicker.

hi joanne, thanks for your quick reply. I havent spoken to an agent yet, do you reccommend any? I know im not eligible for the WHV as it states in their requirements that to obtain a WHV you must be between 18-30 and have no dependants, i will be 26 but have my 4 year old son with me.

 

A 457 is looking like a good option however i am still unsure if you can obtain one just for 6 months.

 

thanks again and i will look into some agencies.
