Under the Trans-Tasman Mutual Recognition Agreement (TTMRA), New Zealand nurses can apply for registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (NMBA) through the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA). This process acknowledges your New Zealand qualifications and streamlines your registration in Australia.
As a New Zealand citizen, you are typically granted a Special Category Visa (subclass 444) upon arrival in Australia, allowing you to live and work indefinitely. This visa is issued automatically when you present a valid New Zealand passport upon entry.
While the core responsibilities are similar, there may be variations in protocols, healthcare systems, and workplace cultures. We provide comprehensive orientation and support to help you adapt smoothly to the Australian healthcare environment.
Generally, nursing salaries in Australia are higher than in New Zealand, and the cost of living can vary depending on the region. Many nurses find that the increased salary compensates for any differences in living expenses.
We assist with every step of your transition, including guidance on registration, visa processes, job placements, and settling into your new role and community. Our goal is to make your move as seamless and stress-free as possible. If you have further questions or need personalized assistance, please contact our team. We’re here to support you throughout your journey to a fulfilling healthcare career in Australia.
