Nurses and midwives form the backbone of the Australian healthcare system, comprising over 55% of the total workforce. They are highly respected professionals who work alongside doctors and allied health professionals to collaboratively provide optimal patient care. As such, the Australian healthcare system is absolutely dependent on having a consistent pool of nurses and midwives in order to function properly.

Nevertheless, there is a significant shortage of nurses and midwives throughout Australia, particularly in regional and rural areas. This can be attributed to a myriad of factors, including increased healthcare needs, insufficient training capacities and an ageing population. Based on the current shortage rates, Australia could be on its way to reaching a shortage ratio of 1 in 3 nursing positions needing to be filled by the year 2030.

There is an incredible need for skilled nurses in Australia. To meet this demand, DANAI is compiling a database of skilled nurses and assisting them in obtaining Australian working rights. If you are one of them, you’ll have the opportunity to work in a highly respected, well-compensated industry, with opportunities to settle down there as a permanent resident.
