Question about visa regarding emigrating to Australia?

Hi. Im a nurse also going to Australia from the UK and ive gone for the Sponsorship visa. You can apply for permenant status in Australia within three months of being there. There are many many hospitals and agencys that will offer you sponsorship because nurses are in demand in australia at the moment. I applied direct to the hospitals in the area where i wanted to live and 9/10 offered me sponsorship. I picked the best offer and went with that, it is a lot quicker than going with a skilled visa and less money to pay out. Hope this helps. All the best
