For AUSTRALIANS Out There !!!!?

Question

if I was a qualified midwife, would I get entry in to OZ and live there legally ?

which city has the most jobs for midwifes and nurses?

Answer 1

I know Brisbane hospitals are very short of mid wives too and its only an hours drive to either Gold Coast or Sunshine Coast beaches.

Answer 2

If you're a registered midwife with a couple of years experience, you would almost certainly be able to get a permanent visa to come to Australia to live and work. Every city needs midwives and you would be able to take your pick of where to live. Same goes for registered nurses with some experience.

Answer 3

All the capital cities have vacancies for hospital professions.

The rural area is the ones who are in great shortage and need the midwives. Country women have to travel out of their areas and away from their local hospitals and doctors because there is a such a shortage in country areas.

Answer 4

Yes, you certainly would, midwife is on the list of skills in demand that allow entry to Australia's skilled migration progam. You also need to be under 45.

The more remote the area, the more shortages there are for health professionals, so country towns have loads of positions vacant for midwives. Many country hospitals have had to stop their obstetrics due to a lack of midwives. If you prefer a larger city, the smaller cities will have more postions vacant than the large ones, eg Hobart, Adelaide, Darwin.

Answer 5

Dont know about gaining entry but as for employment......Mackay, Qld is screaming for nurses and they are about to build a new Base Hospital as well.

Answer 6

Yes - midwives and nurses are very needed here.

You will need to check the immigration department for the visa requirements.

Also check for recognition of your skills.  Some places will be recognised and others not...

Answer 7

I don't think you would have a problem in Queensland or any other state but we have the best weather and beaches.
