Registration Advice

[ire2011]

Hi Aoife,
Sorry for taking so long to get back to you..have been looking at alot of jobs online & all seem to require full registration so like yourself am now thinking I might be going the NZ route..so much extra work but not looking likely to get jobs with limited registration. In relation to Laura's question re:medical I rang a visa company directly & unless you have a job arrnaged prior to going you should not need to get a medical. They did however say that individual hospitals etc.may make you get one, once offered a job in Australia. Hope this helps!

Hi guys

Growing increasingly frustrated with the job search process from over here at home I'm afraid My hope is now maybe if I get out there that on locating myself somewhere in Aus that one will be able to approach practices/clinics/hospitals personally and demonstrate employability from there. One less thing to worry about if we don't have to get medicals until we get there anyhow..thanks for advice there!

Best of luck to you all!

Hi there,

I am also hoping to go and work in Australia at the end of the summer (if I can get anything sorted out by then!!), for a year.

I have been in contact with agencies and possible sponsors. However the sponsors have been out into the country and I was hoping to do more agency type work so I can live and work in Melbourne and spend some time travelling around Australia at the same time.

From this, the agencies have said they are unable to find work unless you are already registered, and they have suggested getting NZ reg and trans-tasmal recognition so you can still work in Australia.

However, I have now spent a lot of hours looking through the NZ registration and still don't know where to start! There are some examples on another forum post about the NZ reg process but I think the forms have changed since March 2011 so it's all a bit different now.

I just wondered if anyone was going through the same process as me and had managed to make any sort of attempt at starting the application forms?

Thanks,
Anna

Hi Anna

As someone who is just about to head to Australia (in 10 days!) and have been trying to secure work there with limited Aus registration I would definitely recommend pursuing the NZ registration rather than going the route I'm going. It might seem daunting but worth it for all the effort I've been putting in to get work I'm sorry I didn't do it. Once you get NZ reg and then apply for Aus reg it'll be full reg and there'll be so many more job opportunities available to you.

Best of luck with your application.
