Australia has an outstanding reputation for delivering high standards of medical care, so why not become part of this worldwide celebration and become a nurse in Australia. Nurses are in high demand and the opportunities are endless on your Working Holiday Visa. In most cities you will find large and smaller hospitals, aged care units and private hospitals across Australia. Your shifts and pay will vary dependant on which state you are in. As an example shifts are 7am – 3pm, 1:30 pm – 9:30 pm or 9pm – 7:30 am and the pay can range from anything from $800 - $2400 dependant on qualifications and location.
To become a nurse in Australia you need to be in good health and you need to register your nursing qualifications by the Australian Nursing & Midwifery Council (ANMC) or the relevant nursing regulatory body in the state you are planning to work. It is certainly recommended to register in plenty of time ,as the process can be rather lengthy taking anything from 6 weeks up to 4 months and if you are not registered when you arrive, you will be unable to work. The ANMC website provides you will further information and will link you to the State and Territory nurse regulatory bodies.
If your training was undertaken outside of Australia and you took your undergraduate degree or nurse training in the United Kingdom, Ireland, United States of America, Hong Kong, Singapore, Republic of South Africa, Netherlands and Canada, then you potentially are eligible for direct entry onto an Australian nursing board register. You would be required to pass a health examination, including a chest x-ray, when applying for your Working Holiday Visa to become a nurse in Australia.
