Well the good news is that there are lots of nursing opportunities available in Sydney and across Australia.  Registered nurses and other jobs across the healthcare profession are currently in high demand in Australia due to a national skills shortage. 

The government, having created new jobs and built new hospitals to cope with the demand of a growing population, have been recruiting home-grown staff; however they are now looking elsewhere in the world to fill these positions to ensure that the required skills are met.

If you have qualified as a nurse in the UK, your skills should be transferable to a nursing job in Australia.  In Sydney in particular there are openings for various positions across the healthcare spectrum.

Priority occupations include Registered Nurses in the following specialist areas:

• Aged Care
• Child and Family Health
• Community Health
• Critical Care and Emergency
• Disability and Rehabilitation
• Medical Practice
• Mental Health
• Surgical
• Paediatrics

There are also a number of opportunities available for qualified midwives.

Moving to Sydney

Although there are openings in many parts of Australia, including some remote and regional areas, most overseas nurses will end up in the busy major city hospitals, with Sydney being a particular hub for the ex-pat community. Due to its size there are numerous opportunities available for qualified nurses – there are a multitude of recruitment websites where specific vacancies are advertised or you may find it beneficial to sign up with a nursing agency who specialise in recruiting healthcare staff from overseas. Agencies and employers may also be able to help with gaining your visa for entry into Australia – as qualified nurses are seen as a priority occupation it should be a fairly straightforward process.
