📣The nursing profession in Australia has always been a popular immigration choice due to its ease of finding employment and immigration opportunities, making it favored by many international students 👩‍⚕️🧑‍⚕️

The nursing industry offers several advantages:
🟤Strong Employment Opportunities💡: In 2023, nursing graduates experienced high employment rates, with 86% of graduates securing full-time or part-time positions, and nursing-related graduates had even higher rates at 94%.
🟡Competitive Salaries💵: Registered nurses in Australia enjoy attractive salaries, with an average annual income ranging from AUD 85,000 to 90,000 according to SEEK data.
🔵Good Immigration Prospects🪜: Nursing stands out as a highly sought-after profession, consistently receiving high rankings in skilled migration quotas across different states and territories. Particularly in this fiscal year, The Aged Care Industry Labour Agreement is one such initiative, enabling employers to sponsor aged care workers. This agreement eases occupational assessment criteria for aged care workers and exempts them from the stringent 7788 language score requirement.

Currently, nursing enrollment for 2025 is in full swing, with limited spots available❗️
