Hey
Well l would start by looking at the AHPRA website and get registration as you can't work without this. As far as l am aware you will need experience as what you have seems minimal and with AHPRA had to show more than two years experience but it might be different for a midwife.
To send off for your reg you will need all documents notarized so look that up cost varies depending on where you are in uk.

Not sure what you mean about finances while in oz or getting yourself there

Hope it helps and have answered some of your questions

Hi
Well not necessarily, depending on which visa you go for you just need the finance to apply for them
I went on working holiday visa which is one to two years and was able to work, which you will be able to do too as long as your registered as midwife

You can go on a 457 visa which can be employer sponsored but check on immi au website and have a look at eligibility and cost of visas too

Or you can apply for permanent residency.
Also look at the skills website, but yes they do need midwifes. Registration can take anything up to 6 months. So look this up too

Yes l think so, but once you are in oz there are few options available.

No sorry was in South Australia so not sure about Perth as l remember its very remote but like you say you not a city bud.

Ps.. I worked at hospital and they offered accommodation this helped the first 3 months l got to oz as l didn't have that hassle

Well l was on the WHV and registered with an agency before l left so it was all organised and just went to the hospital when l got there.

Well on the WHV you work for an employer 3 months and same employer for 6 months and not more. Even if you take it you can work for 4x 3 months at different locations or 6 x2 to make up your year.
You can get a second year WHV but you need to do 3 months work in agriculture.

Might help you raise some funds to do PR
