I'm from the uk..with my partner who's an electrician we've got no kids. I'll be 23 when I'm hoping to go over which is around 8 months time I've had 2 years post grad experience in paeds oncology haematology n I've got my degree. I hope this can help you provide me with more info! Thanks xx

Start your process with AHPRA and then apply Mt Isa - I kid you not we have vacancies right now for nurses and especially paediatric nurses. Your partner could probably get a job in one of the mines and that is VERY good money. Queensland health has special "incentive" packages for people wanting to live here and it does include rent assistance - unfortunately not as much as the rent costs because this is a mining town and rents ARE expensive but hey!! It is a fabulous part of the world and just a stones throw (by Aussie standards) from Lawn Hill
