Re: Applying for skilled visa as RN
The last lot of changes made market testing more enforceable, meaning employers have to prove they can't get an Aussie to do the job. Also they tightened up on English speaking/comprehension. 457s get a lot of flack in the press here as being a cheap way of bringing in foreign labour, and tightening u on them always gets lots of press exposure.

We used to have to put a rider into ads to the effect that Aussies would be given first chance at jobs, but the employers have that in their procedures now so it's taken as a given.
I wonder how Australian born and bred would get on with IELTS
