Hi Leanne and Craig sounds like a great plan. Nurses are still in demand all over Oz. Adelaide is attracting may migrants now because of the cheaper cost of living there amongst other things. Keep us posted on how it's going.
Ok, we have no come to the conclusion that studying in perth will not work for us, or for many who have children of school age, as the cost that are involved are way too high!! so i am going to finish my nursing degree in the uk, then either stay he…

- Hi Leanne & Craig - the WA Nursing Board run competency courses for nurses who are newly qualified from the UK and Ireland. You have to be referred by the nursing board to one of the courses. One of the courses is run by Hollywood Hospital in Perth which is part of the Ramsey Group. After you've completed the course they usually offer you employment.
Alternatively the Aged Care sector really struggles to attract nurses. They are happy to offer UK and Irish nurses 457 visas. The different state nursing boards have different requirements - but as someone else posted UK nursing degrees are highly regarded here in Australia. You may not need to complete one year's work experience - but you may need to complete a short competency course.
You can contact us for more details nearer the time or contact the relevant state nursing board. They are usually very helpful.

Kelly said… - Hi Leanne, I'm a newly qualified nurse. I qualified in March08, I also was going to do what you are doing, but to be honest I just found it too hard. I,m married and have two kids aged 9 and 7. Your British nursing degree stands for a lot in oz, it is well sought after, maybe its worth you finishing your course in Britain. Anyhow a lot of nurse posts want one year experience first, however they do graduate programmes which takes you as soon as you are qualified. This is what I have done and have a post waiting for me in Brisbane, we are in the last stages of getting ready to move. Good luck for you all
