Requirements for working in Australia

Our first requirement is an up to date copy of your curriculum vitae, along with the names and contact details of referees from your most recent workplaces. This is easily completed simply visit Register with Us.

You will also need to provide us with a copy of your current passport, including your Visa to work in Australia (if you already have one – don’t worry this is something we can assist you with) and a Statement of Service (either NHS or Private Practice), which will enables us to work out what year level to pay you. This statement can be obtained from your workplace and needs to state the hours worked during your term of employment, your grading and level of experience.

You will need to seek registration with the Nurse Registration Board – Physio Therapy Registration Board – Occupational Therapy Registration Board (link to appropriate boards page) While each state of Australia has its own relevant Board, reciprocal registration that allows you to work throughout the country can be obtained. ANN staff will happily assist you with registration matters and provide all the relevant information.
