Work in Australia as a Nurse
Australian Government - Department of Immigration and Citizenship

Nurses need to be in good health and have a certain level of education and experience. To work in a hospital or other health care area, nurses need to pass a health examination which includes a chest x-ray.

To work in Australia, nurses need to be registered or enrolled by the nurse regulatory body in the State or Territory in which they want to work.

The Australian Nursing and Midwifery Council (ANMC) website has more information including links to State and Territory nurse regulatory bodies.

Applicants for General Skilled Migration must obtain a skills assessment from the ANMC even if currently registered to work as a nurse in an Australian state or territory.
