NorthumbrianDavid Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 Hi - my OH is a Critical Care nurse in the UK with 11 years experience. Currently she is at the top of band 5 on about 25k (GBP) pa and mentors students, etc. We're looking at the WA salary rates and they are 1.1, 1.2, etc. Does anyone have any idea what salary and salary scale she could expect to start on when we move out there? If it makes any difference, we are looking at the Rockingham and Mandurah areas. Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cath.madd Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 She should go to the top 1:8 with that experience. I'm a nurse with 11 years critical care experience and am on that band with an agency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cath.madd Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 No probs. There is alot of agency work especially for adult nurses in the city and south of the river. The pay with the agency is at least double UK nursing hourly rate pay. Your wife is welcome to inbox me for further info if it will help.

blackcat Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Hi sorry too to hijack, just moved over from east coast and looking for part-time agency work, i'm a psych nurse, haven't seen any recent ads for agencies, any recent ads for psych nursing at all, getting pretty desperate to find some work!! Currently SoR but only in a short-term let which I can't afford for much longer, and can't find a place to live without a job! :-( Many thanks :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkm Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Nurse west is a really good agency. They offer work north and south of the river, regional, paediatric, adult and mental health in the public hospitals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit disconcerting seeing a 3ft nurse walk in with a plastic syringe and stethoscope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
