Paediatric nurses?
Hi all, im looking at moving over to Tasmania in the next year or so with the family. We are both nurses, so it shouldnt be a huge problem...however i cannot see any information anywhere regarding my partners Paediatric qualififcation. She is an RN (Child) here in UK - does anyone know if it is recognised in Oz - if not this blows a huge hole in our plans, so im crossing fingers that it is recognised.

Hi
It certainly is recognised!!
When did she gain her qualifications?
You need to register with the state you want to work in,then you need to register your qualifications with AMNC
http://www.anmc.org.au/
jase
around $400 dollars each for both(modified versioncheapest,but not the quickest so im told)

Not necessarily.
If a couple are both nurses then only one needs to apply to the ANMC for points.....for a skilled visa
The other partner can be on the first partner's visa and only needs to register in the state.

Re: Paediatric nurses?
Cheers folks, that helps. My partner qaulified same as me in March 99...we met at University, and she is now a Health Visitor, so will be looking for Child Health Nurse jobs, of which Tasmania seems to plenty of vacancies at the moment. I'll work anything, doesnt matter to me, though my background is A+E/CCU and currently in Offshore and remote medicine. Ive been in contact with Tas Health Board and didnt get an entirely clear answer, but they seem otherwise helpful. If it only needs one of us to apply for the PR then thats great, save a few quid..i mean dollars.
Out of interest, why do we still need to register with the ANMC...i was under the impression that it is not required for UK qualified nurses, or am i mistaken?

Re: Paediatric nurses?
You apply to the ANMC if you need the points in order to apply for an independent skilled visa.
