Nurses in Adelaide

**yazan** · 10-01-2012, 07:45 AM

Hello Everybody,

My wife is a nurse she has a working experience for one year, she worked as pediatric nurse, and she hold the Bachelor degree in Nursing. We are migrating under visa subclass 475 State Sponsorship. Is it easy to find a job for her in Adelaide and what are the requirements in order to be able to work there?

Thanks

Hi, im not sure about the 475 visa, is that the same as the 457 temporary visa?? somebody else will have to answer that question. Has she had her skills assessed with the ANMC? if yes then she will need to apply to AHPRA for registration, all the details are on line. i would suggest emailing or calling the hospitals she is interested in working in. many hospitals are not taking on staff just offering temporary contracts or working on the casual pool.

somebody else maybe able to give you more info.

Good luck Lisa

Hi,

We have applied for the 475 visa temporary visa, she still did not get her skills assessed with the ANMC?, can we do it when we are in OZ or we shall do it before arriving there?

regards

I am a paediatric nurse as well, 8 years qualified. I was hoping for employer sponsored visa, but have been told there are no paediatric nurse jobs, as seems to be the case with most states. I have had to change to a different state, and have interview for Sydney instead. I hope your wife has better luck than me.

unfortunantly i have no experience with the temporary visas as ours was a PR 176. i thought to apply for a temp visa you had to secure a job first and they sponsored you. sorry i cant answer your questions all i can suggest is hope somebody else does, or search the forum or speak with a migration expert. i thought your skills had to be assessed before you applied for a visa as you need to fit the criteria?? they change the rules about twice a year and you get out of date very quickly.

I kinow I got my skills assessed as I wanted a PR visa, doesn't like I can get PR outright now so need to go on 457 once got a job. The 457 doesn't require you to have skills assessed as it is employer sponsored.

Hi,
Actually the case is as follow, we already received our 475 visa as I am the primary applicant and my spouse already got her visa. My question is that, once we arrive to Adelaide and my wife wants to work there what is required from her, so if there are some documents or letters that she must have we can prepare them and get they ready before arriving there

This may help, it is very confusing especially if you are not main visa applicant like me, and you don't want to spend unnecessary cash, she will have to do her ielts though and get a 7 in all bands...

Have a look at the pdf document on the aphra link it may clarify things a bit more, other than that i would email them directly, when i asked them about my ielts they told me i had to get a band 7 at least but there must be a similar version you can do when on australian shores too, it may take a little longer as i believe you still have to verify your nurse training...
