Default Max Age for Nurses?

Hi all,

Can anybody advise me on what the max age restriction is on nurses working in Australia, it's just that I've heard it's 35?

Thanks

That's rubbish

It's 45 to be able to get a skilled visa, but there are some sponsered ones that you could possibly get if your over that age. Obviously the older you are over 45, the harder it is and the less choice you have.

I don't think they care too much (due to the International nursing shortage) as long as you have qualified.
