LKH Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 Hi, apologies as I’m sure this has been asked hundreds of times already!! I am just starting to look into the process of a move to Perth from the UK with my partner and 2 children. I have a lot of family already living in Perth and just weighing up our options over there. I am a Registered Children’s Nurse and Health Visitor and my occupation is on the skilled occupation list for both 189 and 190 visas. Ideally it seems the 189 visa would be the best option? According to the points calculator on the Australian Home affairs website I would have 75 points if I pass the superior English tests. Ive been doing a bit of research and am I right in thinking the process is - Pass English language assessment Pass assessment criteria for ANMAC Submit EOI If invite is offered to apply for the visa then arrange health checks, police checks, ID checks, etc. Can anyone recommend any migration agents? Or know of any that give a free consultation before starting the process? Are there any Health Visitors that have made the move to Oz and are currently working in a similar role? Are there many Community Child Health Nurse jobs in Perth? Any advice would be appreciated! Please direct me If these questions have already been answered on another post :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verystormy Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 You need to gain registration as a nurse in Australia prior to skills assessment. You will need to swat up to gain the maximum points for English as this is critically important, particularly for a 189 visa as 75 points is going to be the minimum to get an invite. Personally I am a big fan of using an agent to guide you through the process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pegg Posted July 28, 2019 Report Share Posted July 28, 2019 We did ours ourselves - no agents ..... fun starts when you get over there though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauraSmith2807 Posted March 23, 2021 Report Share Posted March 23, 2021 Hi, I just wondered how you got on with the process and if you made it over? My husband and I are in a very similar position to you. Did you get sponsorship prior to going over and do you have to work full time if that’s the case? Any advice would be very welcome. Thank you, Laura. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, Laura. It is a legal requirement for sponsorship to work full time. You are far better to look at permanent skilled visas than sponsored visas which are only temporary.
