Hi there have just joined BritsInBrisbane...am a midwife here in the UK but am hoping to move out to either Brisbane or the Gold Coast at the end of next year prob on a 457 visa...would like to hear from any midwives working or about to work in any hospitals in these areas...have heard that the Mater do an excellent relocation package but am not sure what it is like to work there...have also heard that the John Flynn Private hospital in Gold Coast is excellent to hav your baby at but again does anyone know what it is like to be a midwife there. Obviosly the relocation package is great but dont want to accept a good package at the expense of working in a good hospital...please help!!! lol

 

Have you looked on poms in oz they have a dedicated forum for nurses, you may be able to find out more by asking the nurses on there.
