How does anyone know the answer mate? You need to apply to different hospitals as mentioned to you before in this link http://britishexpats.com/forum/showt...39#post9154939 or you need to keep applying to the hospitals in the area you wish to live.

Lots of people come to Aus highly qualified in their field of work and not all of them get work straight away mate. That's the gamble you take sometimes when you get a visa. hopefully you will get lucky mate

You get a job in the uk and work with some experience and see if the hospitals will employ you not as a new grad but as a level 1.1 or 1.2 nurse.

Also there is 2 intakes a year look online and apply online and see what happens.

I was accepted for a new grad position but due to circumstances have missed it and will be employed as a level 1.2 till sept then as a 1.3 due to be emplyed since qualifying in the uk in sept 09
