Canadian RN Looking for 3 month Australian contract


I am a Canadian RN who is looking to work in Australia for a short contract, ideally 3 months. I am also over 30 so I don't qualify for a working holiday. Are there hospitals that will hire for a 3 month contract? Or is it better to go through a recruiter? I would appreciate any advice

Hi Travel Nurse,
I believe it is getting tougher to get work visas, however think about which state you want to work in and contact the Nurses Registration Board for starters. They will help you get a license to practice and possibly give you some advice re employment. Here is Tasmania there is certainly a shortage of nurses across the specialties, Jobs.tas.gov.au is the government employment web site and will give you an indicator of jobs here. Good luck.
