Angel Assist is proud to present an unprecedented opportunity for internationally qualified registered nurses to work in sunny Australia!

The process for internationally qualified nurses from non-English speaking countries to get registered in Australia is normally extremely prohibitive for most applicants. The OSCE exam costs $4,000, the preparation course costs $5,000, and the candidate must pay for flights and accommodation to Australia. This exam currently has an 18-month wait and it is estimated that only 40% of candidates manage to pass this exam.

But guess what? We've got something exciting up our sleeves. 

New Zealand's registration system recognises most Bachelor degrees in nursing, providing nurses have at least two years full-time experience within the last five years and can pass the minimum English requirements. A short bridging course may be required if you lack Western-style health system experience. If you obtain registration as a nurse in New Zealand, the Trans Tasman Mutual Recognition Act (1997) requires AHPRA to grant registration in Australia. This creates a much easier path for internationally qualified nurses to reach Australia. 

It's like a golden ticket to Aussie adventures!

Unfortunately, there's a limited time window to seize the opportunity. New Zealand will be changing its processes in 2024 to more closely align with the Australian system. This means that to use this pathway, you will have to get your application in within the next few months or so.

Australia is in the middle of a major nursing shortage. Our partners, fantastic employers, are all about welcoming you with open arms. And it's not just about jobs – they're here to take care of the details too! Think relocation incentives, a place to crash when you land – they've got you sorted. And here's the best part: Angel Assist is here to be your trusty guide throughout the whole process. From interviews to getting registered, we're here to make it smooth sailing.
