Hi Annemarie,
Your chances are good - UK qualified nurses are well regarded here. There are a couple of things you can do that will make the process of getting a job easier; start organising your AHPRA (Australian Health Practitioners Registration Authority) now if you have't already done so because this can be quite a long process. At HenderCare I often bring overseas qualified nurses who are waiting for their AHPRA registration on as a PCA/AIN which can be a good way of learning the ropes. also look at getting your National Australian Police Check, Working With Children Check, and competency certificates for CPR, Workplace Aggression and Violence, Fire and Emergency procedures and Manual Handling (you can get all of these via a website called Learn PRN). If you would like to contact me directly for work you can email me or PM me.
