    Hi Emilia,

    Welcome to the forum! As a nurse, you have good chances of securing a visa sponsorship in Australia, as nursing is in high demand.

    Steps to Work in Australia as a Nurse with Sponsorship:

    1. Check Registration Requirements – You must register with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) before working as a nurse in Australia. Visit their official website: https://www.ahpra.gov.au

    2. Skills Assessment – You may need a skills assessment from the Australian Nursing & Midwifery Accreditation Council (ANMAC) if applying for a skilled visa. More details: https://www.anmac.org.au.

    You may find out guide useful here: The Essential Guide to Registering with the Medical Board of Australia

    3. Find a Sponsored Job – You can look for employers willing to sponsor you on these job websites:

    https://482jobs.com (All jobs here offer visa sponsorship)

    https://seek.com.au

    https://indeed.com.au

    4. Choose a Visa Pathway – Common visa options for sponsored nurses include:

    Subclass 482 (Temporary Skill Shortage Visa) – Requires employer sponsorship.

    Subclass 186 (Employer Nomination Scheme Visa) – A permanent visa option after working with a sponsor.

    Subclass 189/190 (Skilled Independent/Nominated Visa) – If you qualify through points-based skilled migration.

    Next Steps:

    Ensure your qualifications meet Australian nursing standards.

    Apply for jobs that offer sponsorship.

    If an employer is willing to sponsor you, they will handle the visa nomination process.

    If an approach independently from sponsorship might be preferable please let me know and I can provide further information.

    I hope this helps! Feel free to ask if you need more details.

    Regards,

    Mark
