Re: Nursing Registration: applicants must present within three months
I went down the 457 route due to lack of points (I am 48 and that gets me zero points!) after securing a nursing job in Queensland. I also needed notarised documents for the 457 so if you are planning on sponsorship make sure that you get an extra certified passport/wedding certificate too.
Out of interest, I fly to Australia in April. Will I be able to apply for residency immediately?

Yes, I am looking at permanent residency. By eligible do you mean as soon as you have the 457?

Re: Nursing Registration: applicants must present within three months
However if the only way you can qualify is by doing 2 years on a 457 then getting a 186 by the transition route, you will hae to do two years first then hope your employer will sponsor.
Did you not look into getting a 189 or 190 before going for the temporary 457?

The reality is that not everyone on a 457 has a path to PR, and for many people it will be a temporary move only. If you are unlucky enough to lose your job, you only have 60 days to find another employer willing (and able) to sponsor you or you have to leave.

No, if you meet all the requirements for PR you don't need to have a 457. If you qualify for a 189 or 190 that is better than a 457 (especially at your age) gives you PR straight away.

Hopefully my employers will sponsor my application as they are taking me on with a view to taking over the management of the team at the end of this year.
Thanks for the clarification

Yes, I looked into the other visas but even with 20 yrs experience and a Masters, plus with full marks on IELTS I still only had 55 points as my age gave me zero points.

Thank you for all of the replies. I will look into it once I am out there. Hopefully my employer will support me. If not, I'll be back in 4 yrs!
My wife's brother is British but has an Australian passport. Would we be able to use him as a sponsor or for extra points?

PR after the age of 50 is difficult though so if you can reach the required points for a PR visa once you have some Australian experience that might be the best bet,

The residential address doesn't matter. The forms were never really designed for off-shore applicants. You can leave it blank.

Hi it's not on a form they've said they want proof of Australian residential
Address and a job offer or statement from a prospective employer which seems impossible before you go

That makes no sense, you don't need a job offer in order to register wth AHPRA. You can register without having a job lined up at all,and many people register before they even make contact with prospective employers.

Hi went back and read it it's proof of Australian address or statement from prospective employer or job offer 👍

AHPRA have never wanted *proof* of an Australian address in order to register. Unless this is something new of course...
