IIHS Welisara has launched a new six-month Nursing Australia Programme aimed at aiding internationally qualified nurses in their pursuit of registration, employment, and migration pathways in Australia.
For nurses from Sri Lanka aspiring to build an international career, Australia offers a significant opportunity for professional acknowledgment, career growth, and enhanced global mobility.
The demand for nurses in Australia is expected to rise sharply in the coming years. According to workforce projections from the Australian Government, without adequate intervention, the nation could face a shortfall of over 70,000 full-time nurses by 2035, with an estimated need for around 79,000 nurses to fill this gap.
This increasing demand opens up substantial prospects for qualified and experienced international nurses who meet the necessary Australian professional registration, employment, and immigration criteria.
With over 25 years of experience, IIHS Welisara has established itself as a leading institution in international nursing education and global career pathways, assisting Sri Lankan nurses in acquiring internationally recognized qualifications and advancing their careers abroad.
Leveraging this extensive background, IIHS has rolled out the Nursing Australia Programme, a dedicated six-month initiative tailored for qualified nurses eager to prepare for Australian nursing registration and explore migration options.
This programme is especially advantageous for nurses possessing recognized international bachelor’s degrees in nursing who are ready to embark on an Australian nursing career.
“IIHS was founded with a clear vision: to empower Sri Lankan women to enter the global workforce as esteemed professional nurses rather than as unskilled domestic workers. More than two decades later, internationally qualified Sri Lankan nurses can now aim for Australian nursing registration and develop fulfilling global careers,” said Dr. Kithsiri Edirisinghe, Co-Founder and CEO of IIHS.
The programme offers comprehensive preparation and expert guidance for nurses seeking to comprehend and meet the Australian registration and competency standards.
IIHS advocates for ethical, transparent, and professionally driven international migration of healthcare professionals, adhering to globally accepted principles governing responsible healthcare workforce mobility.
For qualified Sri Lankan nurses, Australia not only serves as a migration destination but also as a platform to convert their professional qualifications and clinical experience into a globally recognized healthcare career.
Registration, employment, and migration processes are subject to the regulations of the relevant Australian authorities overseeing registration, immigration, and employment.
