Nursing in Aus
Hi! - are there any nurses who have emigrated to Australia, & are now working in hospitals out there?
We hope to emigrate to Melbourne next year, and I am a RGN - who would hope to get work down under. I have heard that its lots better out there, and as I am currently working in the NHS in England - it can't be worse!
Fingers crossed for some good info!

Have you tried the nursing forum on this site?
Lots of nurses on there with loads of knowledge and experience from a nursing perspective. I'm sure they can be more specific

I'm not a nurse, I am a midwife and here that amounts to the same thing (unfortunately). I can't speak for Melbourne because I work in Queensland. But, don't expect your working conditions to be any better, or medicare to be any better than the NHS. You will be disappointed. Pay is lower and conditions the same or worse.
However, the lifestyle more than makes up for it (for me).
Good luck
