Are you a qualified doctor or a nurse, and nurture overseas aspirations? Would you like to give your career a boost by migrating to Australia, for job purposes?  If YES, you should know that at the present Down Under (Australia) is grappling with acute shortage of qualified doctors & nurses—more so across its many regional areas, and hence Canberra is actively encouraging such skilled workers to move to the nation, for job purposes.

Working in Down Under as a Doctor

General practitioners or experts may file a petition for a permit to work in the country in a situation wherein they have received their main medical qualification in a nation barring the Kangaroo Land, or pocketed their medical credentials in Australia, even as they don't hold the Australian permanent residency status.

Doctors are eligible to submit a submission for either a temporary or permanent permit. For the object of immigration, the migrant-doctors interested in permanent residency in the nation ought to have complete medical registration. The doctors--who want to practice in the Kangaroo Land--would do well, to begin with, be duly registered with the Medical Board in the Australian Territory or State wherein they wish to practice.

Post the permit is offered, such applicant-doctors should file a petition before the concerned body, Medicare Australia, for a Medicare Provider Number from them, in case they wish to get involved with general practice, or offer medical advice for medicines/drugs.

Working in the Kangaroo Land as a Nurse

As mentioned before, trained nurses are presently in a great demand in the country even as several attractive and rewarding opportunities exist for them that seek their engagements on both permanent and temporary basis. The applicant-nurses require being healthy and possessing a particular stage of education & experience. With a view to get engaged in a hospital or any other healthcare area, the aspirants require to successfully sail through a health examination test even as the same covers a chest x-ray.

Further--to get suitably engaged in Down Under as a nurse--the applicants require being registered or enrolled with the involved body, the nurse regulatory organization, in the specific Australian Territory or State in which they wish to get employed.

While we are on the issue, it could be pertinent to mention that as per the latest official data proffered by Canberra, a growing number of healthcare experts, including qualified doctors & nurses, are moving to the Kangaroo Land. The recent amendments proclaimed in the nation's Skilled Occupations List (SOL) seem to have done their job well even as these apparently show the concerned immigration organization's attempts to facilitate & boost the entry of such highly qualified medical experts into the nation.
