If you are looking for a pathway to permanent residency in Australia, a Bachelor of Nursing is a great option. Nursing is one of the most in-demand professions in Australia, and nurses are in high demand across the country.

A Bachelor of Nursing will give you the skills and knowledge you need to work in hospitals and other healthcare facilities in Australia. It will also provide you with the opportunity to work in Australia on a temporary or permanent basis.

If you are interested in studying nursing in Australia, please contact us today for more information. We can help you find the right program and university for you.

Overview of the Nursing Profession in Australia

If you are looking to immigrate to Australia, a Bachelor of Nursing can help you on your pathway to permanent residency.

Registered nurses are healthcare providers who look after patients in various settings such as hospitals, nursing homes, and aged care centres. The number of nurses in Australia has significantly risen over the past five years. Nursing is one of the most in-demand professions in Australia. It is expected that the number of nurses will increase even more within half a decade from 279,600 in 2018 to 330,900 by 2023.

Full-time nurses can earn around 1,792 per week, which is higher than the average weekly pay for a lot of other jobs. The average salary for nurses is around AU$87,383. Female workers make up 87.7% of the workforce.

The best part is that a Bachelor of Nursing also qualifies you for permanent residency in Australia. This means that you can live and work in Australia indefinitely, without having to renew your visa every year.

Requirements for Permanent Residence and Bachelor of Nursing

Requirements for Bachelor of Nursing

Entry requirements can vary greatly depending on the institution offering the nursing courses. Therefore, carefully review the course details on the university website or get in touch with Edvise Hub for more guidance and information.

  • Completed an Australian Year 12 or equivalent senior secondary school qualification successful
  • English Language Proficiency (IELTS: 7.0)
  • Letter of Recommendation
  • Statement of Purpose
  • Financial stability evidence.
  • Show that you meet the requirements of the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia’s (NMBA) English Language skills registration standard.

Requirements for Permanent Residency

To qualify for permanent residence in Australia, you must meet certain requirements. One of those requirements is that your profession must be listed on Australia’s Skilled Occupation List (SOL). Fortunately, the nursing profession is included in the SOL. This means that if you have a Bachelor of Nursing degree, then you may be eligible to apply for permanent residency.

To be eligible, you’ll need to demonstrate your proficiency in English (IELTS 7.0), registered with the AHPRA (Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency)  and have enough PR points as stated by the point-based system in Australia (you will know all this by applying for skill assessment). The system takes into consideration factors such as age, work experience, and educational qualifications. If you can meet all these criteria and score enough points, then you may be able to apply for permanent residence in Australia.

The Australian Nursing and Midwifery Accreditation Council (ANMAC) will examine your skills through the Skills Assessment Test. For different professions there are different types of assessments. When you have made sure that your assessment is positive, you can lodge an EOI (Expression of Interest). If you received an invitation to apply, then you can submit your document for your chosen visa type.

How to find the right Bachelor of Nursing Program to meet Permanent Residency Requirements

If you’re looking to find the right Bachelor of Nursing program to meet the permanent visa requirements, here are some tips. First, make sure that the course you’re considering is accredited by the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) and Australian Nursing and Midwifery Accreditation Council. This ensures that your qualification will be recognized by the relevant government bodies. Second, do your research on the program to determine if it’s suitable for your future goals and career aspirations. Make sure that it suits your lifestyle, too. Thirdly, find out about any exemptions or special offers available that could help you to achieve permanent residency sooner. Finally, consider any additional costs associated with the program and factor them into your decision-making process.

Available Nursing Occupations on Skilled Occupation List

There are several nursing occupations available for Bachelor of Nursing graduates in the Australian Skilled Occupation List, giving you the chance to secure a longer stay. 

Enrolled Nurse Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL)
Mothercraft Nurse Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme (RSMS) ROL
Nurse Educator Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL)
Nurse Manager Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL)
Nurse Practitioner Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL)

Registered Nurse (Surgical) Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL)

In order to close the skill gap in regional areas, the Government is appealing to highly skilled employees to relocate there. There are several advantages to studying in a regional area, such as being awarded an additional five points on the points-based system. Furthermore, regional visas have faster processing times and, in the case of a 494 or 491 visa, those who find employment in a designated DAMA regional area will be exempt from the minimum salary of $53,900.

What is DAMA?

It is a formal agreement between the government and the regional authority in order to increase the number of skilled workers in specified regional areas. The benefit of working in any of the DAMA regions is that you don’t need to comply with the minimum salary of AU$ 53,900 (which is known as the Temporary Skilled Migration Income Threshold). This makes it a slightly easier way to apply for PR.

Available Permanent Residence Visa Options for Bachelor of Nursing Graduates

There are a number of visas, Registered Nurses are eligible for, the following are listed below:

  • Subclass 189: Skilled Independent Visa
  • Subclass 190: Skilled Nomination Visa
  • Subclass 491: Skilled Work Regional 
  • Subclass 186. 482, 494: Employer Sponsored Visas
  • Subclass 485: Temporary Graduate Visa

Conclusion

So, if you are looking for a pathway to permanent residency in Australia, studying nursing is one of the best options you have.
