Nursing Jobs In Australia

Nursing jobs in Australia are set to rise. We are a country with an ageing population.



Baby boomers are a strong force. They are currently the segment with the largest disposable income.

They earn a lot and spend a lot, probably, more than any other generation. And they are not getting any younger.

They got used to a good life, expect to live longer and to have quality health care in their golden years.

So the prospects for nursing jobs in Sydney or anywhere else in Australia are excellent.

Registered nurse is an occupation in demand across the whole country. They work in hospitals and health care organisations, community service and aged care facilities.

There are two categories of nursing employment in Australia:

  • registered nurse, which requires tertiary studies (a bachelor degree)
  • enrolled nurse, which requires lower levels of qualification

If you are a nurse qualified overseas and want to apply for your skilled Australian immigration visa your qualifications need to be assessed as equivalent to those of a registered nurse.

Enrolled nurse is not enough to get you through, if you are the main applicant.

Get your skills assessed by the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Council. Then apply for you permanent visa.

Qualification alone is not enough to practice nursing in Australia. You need a licence, so register with the Nursing and Midwifery Regulatory Authority in your state.

When you get your registration, you are ready to start looking for work.
