A&E Nurse Australia
Emigrate to Australia as an A&E Nurse Australia
Emergency Rooms in Australia are on the whole well funded and resourced with A&E Nurses forming the backbone of the ER workforce. Many progressive techniques have evolved in Australia and implemented Worldwide. Indeed, some Australian Hospitals were the first to adopt specialist lifesaving techniques like Trauma Foam.
Some of the statistics released on Healthcare services in Australia make for sobering reading. There are an almost equal number of Private and Public hospitals with 746 public hospitals and 601 private hospitals. Obviously given the size of Australia this seems like a very disproportionate number although when one considers the total population of Australia is a shade over 23 million people it starts to take on a new perspective.
Last year for example there were almost 9.7 million patients admitted (roughly 60% to the Public system and 40% to private hospitals). From an A&E perspective there were some 9.4 million emergency services provided by the public system in 2015.
From these 9.4 million visits 75% of patients received treatment within an appropriate time for their triage category and 73% of patients spent less than 4 hours in the Emergency Department

In Australia 2015 saw spending of some $63.9 Billion AUD which represented just over 3.92% of GDP, or about $3,006 per person. To put this into perspective it is some 39% higher as a percentage of GDP than the UK, France, Germany and many other Developed nations.
A&E Spending in particular has been increasing faster than inflation at an average of 5.8% year on year.
All levels of qualified A&E and Emergency Care Nurses are in high demand in Australia with an abundance of nursing jobs.
