You can come to Australia independently, and look for work, or arrange a job with an employer before you leave.

In Australia, to work as a nurse you need to be in good health and have a certain level of education and experience.

To determine whether you can work in Australia as a nurse, you will need to be assessed by either the Australian Nursing & Midwifery Council (ANMC) or the nurse regulatory body in the State or Territory in which you wish to work.

If you wish to work in a hospital or other health care area, you will also need to pass a health examination which includes a chest x-ray.
