Nursing
Nurses work in various settings like a clinic, home, hospital, prison, general practices, residential and community setting, and more.
There is always a huge demand for nurses all around the world. Many people have a desire to take nursing courses these days, to grab the opportunities that are available. Koala Education is helping students to take nursing courses that will add value to them based on their interests.
We are also promoting the Initial Registration for Overseas Nurses (IRON) program. This is a bridging program as it is specifically designed to assist nurses that are practising nursing abroad to qualify themselves to practice nursing in Australia. ANMAC (Australian Nursing and Midwifery Accreditation Council) has approved this program. The main goal of this program is to help nurses get the skills and knowledge necessary to practice nursing competently and safely in various healthcare settings.
If a candidate completes this program and graduates, they will get the recommendation from the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency to become a registered and qualified nurse in Australia.
Here is a list of nursing courses that various providers are offering in Australia.

Best Way to Get the Australian Permanent Residency
Nursing professionals are in huge demand, as they are on both SOL or Skilled Occupations List as well as CSOL or Consolidated Sponsored Occupations List. Some professions that are in huge demand are Registered Nurse (Medical Practice), Nurse Practitioner, and Registered Nurse (Aged Care).
Australian Nursing and Midwifery Accreditation Council (ANMAC) which is a recognised body assesses a nurse before they secure the permanent residency status. It is mandatory for nurses to pass this test before they get work sponsorship.
Nurses that complete this course successfully earn 5 points which they can use towards getting the Permanent Residency in Australia.
