Aged care nurse sponsorship visas in Australia
Aged care sponsorship visas for registered nurses
Sanctuary Recruitment is recruiting eligible registered nurses for aged care sponsorship visas from overseas and within Australia. We are an aged care recruitment consultancy with many years of expertise in the industry, and through our long-standing relationships with homes across the country, we are hiring aged care professionals on a temporary, permanent, and contract basis.
Due to acquiring a labour license, we are now able to employ eligible registered nurses on an aged care sponsorship visa with a pathway to PR after a 24-month commitment.
*Please note, we are currently not accepting new sponsorship applications. This pause is temporary, and we will update this page as soon as we reopen submissions. If you are looking for an aged care role that doesn't require sponsorship, please
get in touch with our team. Thank you for your interest and understanding.
