Nursing jobs abroad · Australia
Australia combines high salaries, strong lifestyle and a well-defined skilled-migration pathway that makes it a top long-term destination for Indian nurses.
Overview
Nurses register through AHPRA under the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (NMBA). Internationally qualified nurses usually complete an Outcomes-Based Assessment (OBA) — a multiple-choice exam plus an OSCE — and evidence English through IELTS (7.0) or OET (grade B).
Australia's skilled-migration system supports nurses strongly, offering a realistic route to permanent residency. Combined with high pay and quality of life, it's a destination many nurses choose to settle in permanently.
