NURSE PATHWAY PROGRAM OPPORTUNITY

Our Offshore In-Country Training Program is also available as an ONLINE DELIVERY OPTION to WORKING NURSES (RNs) either in India or the Philippines.

Upon online successful completion of CHC33021 Certificate III in Individual Support*, specialising in Age Care and Disability, working nurses are eligible to apply for a Training Visa (subclass 407) to undertake their work placement onshore, a Temporary Skill Shortage Visa (subclass 482) which now leads to a two-year working pathway to Australian Permanent Residency depending on students nationality, eligibility and availability. GeSS Education in partnership with leading Australian Recruitment Agencies, and multiple Australian Aged Care Provider and Facilities, will work to find you a suitable Australian employer within the aged and/or disability health sector to sponsor you for your Visa. Student selection for this program is based on student behaviour to ensure employability skills are transferable to prospective employers. Students are to apply for this program on completion of their GeSS Education course.

For our Nursing Pathway Program, you must be prepared to undertake the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) registration process so that you can become an Australian Registered Nurse. Once registration approved you will need to apply for a Skills Assessment Test with the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Accreditation Council (ANMAC) which will be conducted in Adelaide, Australia while you are working. If students undertake AHPRA process while in their home country, then students can potentially come over on a subclass 482. If your employer has an Aged Care Labour Agreement with the Australian Government Department of Home Affairs (DHA) then they may bring you over on a subclass 482 visa as a Personal Care Worker while you undertake your AHPRA registration. Some employers will want students to come over under a subclass 407 visa to work for at least 12 months while you undertake the AHPRA process in Australia. In this scenario, students will work as a Personal Care Worker (PCW) until such time as you are an Australian Registered Nurse (RN). Once that occurs the employer can sponsor you for a subclass 482 visa.
