US nurses, comment AUSSIE for the independent pathway breakdown.
You don't need a hospital to sponsor you to work in Australia.
Most US RNs are told the only route is employer sponsorship, find a hospital, hope they file, wait on their timeline. That assumption is what holds the dream up.
The 189 skilled independent visa is a different route entirely. As a migration lawyer, the legislation is clear: PR from day one, points-tested, no employer sponsorship required.
You qualify on your own credentials. You choose where you work. You choose where you live. A permanent life in Australia on your own terms.
