Welcome to our community Tirosheni
Navigating the pathway to migrate to Australia as a registered nurse involves evaluating both employer-sponsored visas and independent skilled migration options. Here’s a breakdown to assist you:
1. Employer-Sponsored Visas:
Given your 8 years of nursing experience and AHPRA registration, you’re a strong candidate for employer sponsorship. Many Australian healthcare employers offer sponsorship to qualified nurses. For instance, platforms our own at https://482jobs.com have over 400 listings for nurse roles offering visa sponsorship.
Pros of this approach:
-
Job Security: Securing a position before migrating ensures immediate employment upon arrival.
-
Support: Employers often assist with relocation and settlement processes.
Cons of this approach
-
Commitment: You’re typically required to work with the sponsoring employer for a specified period.
-
Location Constraints: You may need to reside in a particular area based on the job location.
2. Skilled Independent Visa (Subclass 189):
This visa allows skilled workers to live and work anywhere in Australia without employer sponsorship. Registered nurses are listed on Australia’s Skilled Occupation List, making you eligible to apply.
Pros:
-
Flexibility: Freedom to choose your employer and location.
-
Permanent Residency: Grants immediate permanent resident status upon approval.
Cons:
-
Processing Time: The application process can be lengthy and competitive.
-
Points Requirement: You must meet the points threshold based on factors like age, English proficiency, and work experience.
Recommendation:
Considering your qualifications and experience, applying for the Subclass 189 visa could be advantageous due to the autonomy and permanent residency it offers. However, given the competitive nature and processing times, simultaneously exploring employer-sponsored opportunities can provide a safety net and potentially expedite your migration process.
It’s also worth noting that the Australian government is implementing measures to expedite the registration of qualified nurses from overseas, aiming to address workforce shortages.
Happy to help with any additional questions you might have about any of the next steps

Thank you so much Mark.
Meaning that, I shall apply for EOI and at the same time I explore sponsorship will be a good choice right? One more thing, if I migrate via job sponsorship, do my son get to study for free?
Thank you in advance.
