The Country

  Australia is a natural wonderland of beautiful beaches, crystal blue waters, amazing
  ancient rock formations and pristine rainforests.

  It is the sixth largest country in the world and has the lowest population density per
  square kilometre. Australia is made up of six states and two territories.

Healthcare Workers Shortage

There is currently a shortage of nurses and doctors in Australia, particularly in regional areas.

Nurses are currently in high demand in Australia with opportunities for permanent and temporary work available.

General practitioners or specialists can apply for a visa to work in Australia if they have obtained their primary medical qualification in a country other than Australia or gained their medical qualifications in Australia and are not an Australian permanent resident.
