Hi ladies, I have a couple of mates who are nurses in Adelaide, there seems to be plenty of work here (and when you first get here you should have no trouble getting temporary work via the nursing agencies, til you find something permanent). Not sure, but I think you might be able to access the jobs section of the Adelaide Advertiser on-line, why not do an internet search. Saturday is the day for most job adverts, and they have a section dedicated to medical vacancies. They also have a section for IT but it is a lot smaller than the one for nursing. I think Joe Fish (another forumer) posted a thread on IT in Adelaide, when he came here to check out the place. adelaidegirl

Hi there,

With the new layout I'm not sure if I'm doing this right but I'll give it a go. Thanks for that information. I've been concentrating my search on Brisbane and surrounding areas but when we first talked about emigrating (all those years ago!) we seriously considered Adelaide. I think it was the fact that I am trying for IT that put us off (although if it's nursing then it's nursing) because from what I gathered there wasn't much in that area. Thanks also for the info about Joe Fish, I'll do a search and see what I come up with.

Thanks again and if you've any other snippets of information please let me know.

Ginny.

Hi there,

I've been nursing in Adelaide since I migrated here in 86. Theres plenty of work in all areas. Best thing to do is join an agency and work at various sites and see where you like best. I've just returned from a holiday back in the UK and houses here in Adelaide are about a third of the price compaired with London. Also rental accommodation is pretty easy to find in most areas. Adelaides a great place to live but unfortunately is often overlooked when people decide to visit/migrate here. Would be happy to give hospital names and addresses if interested.

Ever wondered why there are loads of nursing jobs in Adelaide?


The Workplace Bullying Project, conducted in 1997 by the South Australian Working Women's Centre, showed Nurses and Teachers to be the most bullied of all South Australian Workers. The recommendations made in this report have been ignored by the South Australian Government. Nurses and Teachers continue to be amongst the most bullied, abused and exploited workers in South Australia. (For a copy of this report please phone 61 8 8410 6499)

The 1998 - 1999 Annual Report by the Office of the Employee Ombudsman in South Australia, states "Interestingly the survey also reported that the industry groupings recording the greatest number of responses to the survey were education and health, the public service departments responsible for the greatest number of complaints to this Office."
