HEALTHCARE | TO OZ

The Burnout Report 2024 found that 9 in 10 UK adults experienced high or extreme stress in the last year. NHS staff are 50% more likely to experience chronic stress, according to the Kings Fund.

But if you are reading this you probably already knew that. And you probably know from first hand experience what that feels like.

But it doesn’t have to be this way.

The average total weekly working hours for a Nurse in Australia is 34.3. The average salary for a Nurse in the NHS is £25,600 (around $42,500). In Australia the average is $65,000 (around £39,200). The same differentials carry for almost all roles across the entire medical and healthcare sector.

And that is without considering work / life balance and more general quality of life considerations.

Australia is short of talented healthcare and medical workers, there are ample opportunities across the nation. A nation that is positive, progressive and that values a ‘fair go’ for it’s population. Why not join the 1 in 3 Doctors and 1 in 5 nurses trained overseas in making Australia your home?

Australia is very keen to welcome medical and healthcare professionals. The skilled migration lists are updated regularly but are consistent in including a wide range of medical and medical adjacent roles.

But this does not automatically guarantee that a NHS (or other overseas healthcare) worker will be granted a visa. There is still a sophisticated and complex web of ever changing regulations that must be met.

This is where healthcare | to oz can help. We are specialists in the field, we understand how the various roles across the jurisdictions relate and can help navigate the professional and registration bodies, skills assessments and qualification requirements that you need.

You don’t take chances with the patients in your care. Give yourself the same level of attention and trust your migration journey to people who understand your motivations and needs.
