Australia welcomes healthcare professionals via the Skilled Independent Visa (subclass 189), Employer Nomination Scheme (subclass 186), and regional visas. Professions like nursing, medical radiology, and general practitioners are on the Medium and Long-Term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL). Candidates must pass skills assessments through authorities like ANMAC (for nurses) and meet English and health requirements. Permanent residency is achievable, with a path to citizenship after several years.
To practice as a nurse in Australia, internationally qualified nurses must undergo an assessment and registration process managed by the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (NMBA) and the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (Ahpra).
