Visas

If you not from Australia or New Zealand then you will need  a visa to enter Australia and undertake employment.

There are 2 main types of visas which can be used to enter and work in Australia.

1. Working Holiday Visa -

The Working Holiday Program provides opportunities for people between 18 and 30 to holiday in Australia and to supplement their travel funds through incidental employment.

The visa allows a stay of up to 12 months from the date of first entry to Australia, regardless of whether or not you spend the whole time in Australia.

You are allowed to do any kind of work of a temporary or casual nature, but work for more than three months with any one employer is not permitted.

Australia has reciprocal Working Holiday maker arrangements in effect with the United Kingdom, Canada, the Netherlands, Japan, Republic of Ireland, Republic of Korea, Malta, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) of the People's Republic of China, Finland, the Republic of Cyprus, France, and Italy, Belgium and Taiwan if you are not from one of these countries, you cannot apply for a working holiday visa.

The Working Holiday Visa is used by backpackers and young travellers who wish to supplement their income while having a holiday in Australia.

2. Sponsored Employee Visa -

Employers can sponsor overseas applicants into Australia for a period of up to four years if they can't fill a vacancy from the local work force.  Employees will be under contract and can only work for their sponsoring employer - the visa is provided by the employer and links the employee to the job directly. This is the most common visa for job seekers over the age of 30 or those seeking to work in Australia for a few years or while they arrange immigration.  We have a large number of clients across the professions at any one time who are prepared to sponsor the right applicants into Australia. These are across all states and a wide variety of locations. A sponsored visa also allows you to arrange to bring your spouse and dependents to Australia with you as well. For more details or to talk to us about what we can arrange for you, contact our office.

There are no age limits for our longer term contracts, our registered Australian Migration Agent will assist in the provision of a Skilled Temporary Sponsored visa for you and your family if you require. We can also assist you with working toward permanent Australian residency and Australian citizenship once you are here if you enjoy your stay and want to live her permanently.

With many of our regional and rural hospitals, you will also have the chance for relocation assistance as well as initial accommodation. Our roles are suitable for both singles and families.  On a sponsored work permit, your spouse is also eligible to work!!

Registration to Practice :
As an RN, you must have registration in the Australian State in which you wish to work. Registration in transferable between states so you only need to register in one state initially.
