for a newly registered nurse it can be tough to work in Oz right away. first you nursing qualification in the Phils is not actually recognised in a way unless you need also to take the exam set forth by the Australian board of nursing http://www.nmb.nsw.gov.au/ i think you need to pay AU$10K for an 8 weeks course thereby you're also required to take an exam. this can be very risky should you fail the exam that's it good bye for your AU$10K. Another way is to apply as a enrolled nurse http://www.health.nsw.gov.au/nursing/en.html this is about 18 months course but when you finish this course you're not actually a registered nurse you work like a nurse assistant in a way. For you to be registered you have to take a one year university course in nursing. or apply a uni nursing course http://www.unsw.edu.au/ depending on your Phil transcript of records they might credit some of your subjects as a result there's a probability of you becoming 2nd year right away. BTW nursing here is three years without board exams. another way is acquire Phil nursing experience and apply later in state like Queensland http://www.health.qld.gov.au/nursing/default.asp apply directly to the state government by way of checking out their websites do not apply to any agency in the Phils if you know what i mean. what are those websites? just google the states i mention below. just a simple tip don't apply in NSW or Sydney for it'll be quite difficult to get in as migrant level in Sydney is closely monitored by the Oz government. But states like Queensland, Western Australian, South Australia, Tasmania etc etc they might have more opportunities for possible migrant like you. one good thing in Oz though even if you're a uni student you can work part time at a maximum of 20 hrs weekly. in other words if you know how to budget well you can actually pay off your tuition by working 20 hrs weekly. your annual tuition is about AU$14K should you have more queries please don't hesitate to ask me.... good luck! to the person beneath me........ dunno too where the person below got the info there's no such thing as "commission on nursing" as a matter of fact it is called Nurses and midwives board. just click the link provided. obviously who's clueless? the board's office down in central close to UTS (my previous uni) will let you know what I'm talking about..... just read the first paragraph please for your info that explains if you are a newly registered nurse from Phils. clearly i said your qualififcation in Phils is not in a way accepted in Oz. hope you got it right this time...... in short for you to be recognise in Oz the only way to go is the nurses and midwives board...... get your facts right... g'day

Dunno where Fidel gets his information--back of a weet bix packet maybe.??? You cant even apply to Oz without a minimum 2 years practical experience in nursing and you have to be in full time work as a nurse in the Phils when you do apply. So far so good, You can apply to the Commission on Nursing by email and you will be required to undergo an interview for any position you apply for but --get this--the interviews are often done by telephone.I am not kidding. E-Mail any Aussie hospital, just google them for addresses and make some enquiries. If you are accepted for a nursing position the Hospital that employs you provides a letter to our Immigration Dept and presto--a 4 year work visa is yours. The extra training you WILL require to become in line with Aussie qualifications is undertaken at your new job here and where Fidel gets 10 k for this is beyond me--its called 'on the job training' here . Not only is it done all by the hospital but you are fully paid while doing the training. GET GOOGLING THOSE HOSPITALS OR EMAIL ME FOR FURTHER INFO. Fidel doesnt have a clue I can assure you of that.

Depends on how you do it. You can do it the legal way. Which is by going to the DIMA website and putting your name down on a list of professions looking for workers. They will get in contact with you and let you know when and where to provide details. A sponsor looking for people may contact you and sponsor you to come to australia. Or you can look for jobs in Australia and lodge direct application with a company or government looking for nurses. Or you can do it the backdoor way and pay a commission to an 'agency' in Manila who will claim that they can get you work in Australia and rip you off and take your money by deducting further commissions from your pay when you come to Australia.
