Hospitality requirements

If you're after hospitality work you'll need a Responsible Service of Alcohol (RSA) certificate. To work with pokie machines (also called one-armed-bandits) or horse betting in pubs you'll also need a Responsible Conduct of Gambling (RCG) certificate. Both certificates require a one-day training course and can be undertaken training centres all over Australia, see the Jobs section of this website for more details.

Nursing requirements

Nurses with overseas qualifications must register with the state Nurses Registration Board before working as a registered nurse. There is usually plenty of work available for nurses in capital cities.  Check out healthwork.com.au for job details and nmb.nsw.gov.au City-based nursing agencies also arrange work in Aboriginal communities and remote locations.

Also see our listings section and look under Jobs & Training for nursing or medical recruitment.

TIP: Nursing agencies recommend that nurses from the UK stay registered with the RCN when they leave home. This automatically covers PII insurance while working in Australia.
