Healthcare International Case studies

signed up with First Count Nursing Personnel LTD in May 2006 and almost immediately they found me a long term permanent placement overseas. They provide a professional and honest service, and have a genuine understanding of my needs. Nothing is ever too much trouble for them. I am particularly impressed by the follow up calls and e-mails I receive, no matter how minor queries may be.There is always a pleasant voice at the end of the phone.I would not hesitate to recommend their service to anyone who wants to work in the health care profession in UK or abroad. E.B.

'If you are a peri operative nurse thinking of coming to Australia you may be wondering which agency will I choose, is there work for me and if I like it can I make the move permanent? I would like to help you to decide not only to come here but also who to put your faith in and work with. Why? Because I, Nigel, made the right choices a few years ago in emigrating from the UK and wish to help others do so too.

I wholeheartedly recommend that you choose to come to Australia through First Count and work for ASEPS whether for a working holiday, a long stay or emigration.

Why ASEPS you may ask, well simply that ASEPS is the number one agency in Australia for theatre nurses established 20 years ago. No other Agency can offer you the choice of work all over Australia no matter what they tell you.

I know this because an ASEPS nurse told me about them in the UK when I was planning my move with another agency. I am so glad that she did, the market here is different and ASEPS is the only way to go for Theatre work.

ASEPS sponsored myself and my family over from the UK in 2003 on a 4 year visa. I worked for 6 months in Sydney before moving to Queensland. During this time I have never been short of work nor support from the Company.

Since then I have with ease obtained my Permanent Residence and recently my Australian Citizenship, my daughter is receiving an excellent education and I now work in the bookings section of the Queensland Office.

I haven?t regretted my move for one minute, the lifestyle here is fantastic, not to mention the wether and the friendly welcome. Just like the UK there is a shortage of Nurses here and your skills will be welcomed. The opportunities are excellent, have a working holiday or something more long term with a sponsorship which is not at all difficult to arrange.

I am happy to speak to anyone and answer any questions that you may have, after all it can be a daunting prospect thinking about such a move, and maybe a chat to someone who has been there, done that may make the difference.

Please ask First Count for my contact details if you would like to discuss further. E.B.

First Count has made my lifelong dream come true! They have helped me sort out my relocation to Australia every step of the way. They provide a professional service and have a genuine understanding of nurse requirements for relocation to Australia. I am so excited to be moving in December and its all thanks to Ainslie and her team for all their advice and support along the way. M.M.

All I can say is forget about going to the large companies where you are treated like a number. First Count looks after you, and are in constant contact with you to answer any questions you have right from the outset. They really take the time to listen to your needs, and work with you to get the most out of the big move. My family and I are heading over to NZ at the end of the year, and we have had alot of assistance in preparing for the move. First Count has taken the worry out of the process. Thanks for everything! P.J.

I was really looking for that agency that could assist me with the whole relocating process. I wanted someone who would be able to advise me with the whole process as I was new to this WHV thing. Ainslie was always around to answer any queries I had and helped me to reach my dream of travelling across Australia. I have since returned from my WHV, and are now looking to go out to Australia permanently. Of course I am using their services as I know that they will treat me well and provide me with the best opportunities.

HCI/Healthcare Australia is the perfect answer to the WHV nurse.. we can travel to far and distant places in Aus, and also pick up work wherever we go. They offer flexibility and great pay rates, and also give you the option to decide when you want to work and when you want to holiday!! Definitely recommend them to anyone looking to go out on a WHV working agency. N.L.
