Australia, as it’s well known, is a ‘Land of Endless Opportunities’, especially for the ambitious skilled and talented people even as Canberra rolls-out red-carpet welcome to them through a variety of immigrant-friendly and easy-to-follow visa schemes. Presently, Down Under is allegedly finding it quite difficult to treat and nurse its ageing population, more so in its regional areas, with the reason being the number of local professionals is rather insufficient for the given object.
Given this, general physicians or specialists may file a petition for a permit to get employed in the country in case they have gained their major medical qualification in a nation other than Down Under, or received their medical credentials in country even as they do not have permanent residency rights therein.
Working as doctor
Qualified doctors from abroad can submit a petition for either of the two: a temporary or permanent permit. For immigration purposes, doctors seeking permanent residency status in the country should have full medical registration.
Prerequisites
Foreign doctors, keen to practice in the country, ought to first be duly registered with the concerned Australian Medical Board in the Territory or State wherein they wish to practice. Post the permit is offered, doctors should submit a petition to Medicare Australia for a Medicare Provider Number in case they wish to work in general practice or want to advise medicines. Several permit choices are up for grabs for doctors.
Working as nurse
First-rate career opportunities exist for nurses in Australia with permanent and temporary work available therein. Remarkably, one may be in or outside the country at the time of filing a petition for a permit to get employed as a nurse in the Kangaroo Land. Majority of the permit submissions for nurses obtain priority processing.
Prerequisites
Nurses require having reasonably good health and a particular level of education & experience. To do a job in a hospital or any other kind of health care centre, these professionals also require successfully sailing through a health assessment even as the same covers an X-ray for chest.
To get fruitfully and productively employed in the nation, these professionals also require to be suitably registered by the concerned nursing regulatory organization. The aspirants for General Skilled Migration (GSM) should receive a skills evaluation from the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Accreditation Council (ANMAC) in case they presently are duly registered to do a job as a nurse in a territory or state of the nation.
