 Is it good for my healthcare career?

"The Australian health system is world-class in both its effectiveness and efficiency: Australia consistently ranks in the best performing group of countries for healthy life expectancy and health expenditure per person." (World Health Organization 2003).

There are fantastic nursing jobs across Australia in a healthcare system that is among the best in the world. Australians spend a much higher percentage of their income on healthcare, which means that the hospitals here are modern and well equipped. There is an emphasis on evidence-based practice and quality assurance and a low nurse:patient ratio. This experience will be valuable to your career whether you stay forever or return home after 6 months.

What about the lifestyle?

Whatever your interests, you will find them in Australia. From wine tasting to bungy jumping...it all happens here. Australian cities have been consistently voted the most livable in the world with all capital cities featuring in the world's top 10.

The incredible influence that migrants have had on Australia is evident in everything from cuisine to art and literature. As one of the most multicultural nations in the world, Australians celebrate the contribution of other cultures and believe passionately in freedom of speech and religion. Cultural activities from opera to street theatre are all well supported and there are more sporting activities than you can imagine.

Remember, all activities are accessible and affordable Cost of Living. We have provided information on Nurses Salaries in Australia in 2009.
