We tried to get my mum on my skilled independent visa in 2006 as an aged dependent relative, we support her financially and no other family to help her. It was refused and refused again at appeal. It is very difficult and you need a VERY knowledgeable agent/immigration lawyer to help with it. Do not believe agents who tell you it is easy.

Speak to an experienced migration agent - Peter Bollard and George Lombard are the ones who are frequently mentioned with experience with medical issues - about what your/her chances are.
As for hospitals recruiting theatre nurses, it's going to depend on where you're eventually posted. There's no sense in her working at Joondalup if you're working in Mandurah.

That's absolutely right - dependency in their criteria is considered only if a relative is dependent on you for the absolute basics of food, clothing and shelter, which of course are deemed to be covered by benefits/state pensions in developed countries with welfare and healthcare systems. There is no consideration of emotional ties etc.
