The Process of going to Australia
Upon receipt of your resume SNI will pre-screen it and contact you regarding your eligibility for hospital placement in Australia
and whether you should proceed further.
If you meet the requirements for placement there are
two options available to you:
(1
). Option A: Pay SNI registration fee of $350 USD. This will open a file on you and we will then send you the necessary information for
the next step. You will be responsible for registering yourself with the Nursing Board and all follow-up in Australia.
(2
). Option B: Pay SNI Registration fee of $750 USD. This will open a file on you and we will send you the necessary information as
above, plus screen all of your Nursing Board and visa applications and follow up with these departments for you in Australia
.
Both these options include placement services in a hospital in Australia.
We do not charge a Registration Fee unless we are confident we can place you in a hospital
in Australia or New Zealand after you have completed the Bridging Course.
All course
costs, visa costs, licensing costs, accomodation and transortation costs from your country to Australia are the responsibility
of the nurse. Once registered with SNI fees are not refundable should you drop out.
Additional Costs:
Estimated costs 2008/2009:
Australian Nursing Board Licensing
= $299 AUD
Visa = $190 AUD
Accomodation = $150 - $250 per week
Airfare from country of origin to Australia
Hospitals
do not pay the cost of this Bridging Program. Each hospital has its own benefits package and it will be given to you at time
of placement. Please note that you will need enough money for accomodation and living expenses while attending the Bridging
course.
