For a Nursing Clinical Director Emigrating to Australia
Welcome to our guide on the Australian skills assessment process for a Nursing Clinical Director. Before we examine the skills required to be recognised as a Nursing Clinical Director it may be helpful to explain that the skills assessment is the first step of the emigration process. The skills Assessment of a Nursing Clinical Director determines their eligibility to emigrate and the visa options available. Ultimately, it will affect their employment opportunities once they are in Australia.

Ensuring Nursing Clinical Directors Are In High Demand
Every skilled migrant wants to know they will be able to secure a job quickly and easily when they are in Australia. The Australian emigration system ensures that they can.
Each year, State Governments and the two territorial Governments report to the federal government on their local demand for Nursing Clinical Directors and if they need to bring in Nursing Clinical Directors from overseas to fill any potential shortage skills gaps. This report states the number of overseas a Nursing Clinical Directors required in the coming year to fill the skills gap within each region.
The Skills in demand are then broken down into priority lists. These lists range from those skills in high demand across the country to those skills with only limited demand within rural areas.
Curently, Nursing Clinical Directors are on the MLTSSL list. Being on this list means a Nursing Clinical Director may qualify for one of the following visa streams:
- 190, 407, 491 (S/T), TSS (S), 494

Navigating the Vocational Education and Training Assessment Services Skills Assessment Process
For Nursing Clinical Directors, the skills assessing body is “Vocational Education and Training Assessment Services” they are often referred to as the VETASSESS. To visit their site, follow the link: https://www.vetassess.com.au
It is important to note that the primary purpose of the Vocational Education and Training Assessment Services is to make a profit and protect their current members from migrants entering Australia, taking their members’ jobs, and driving down standards or wages.

Emigration law is one of the most complex areas of legislation and is continuously being adapted. By definition, emigrating to Australia is a legal process where the individual must prove their case. It is not down to the government to assist in that process. In fact, in legal terms, it is the government against whom we must win our case.
