Enrolled Nurse (EN):No university degree required. Works primarily in care facilities such as aged care settings, providing the full scope of nursing services.Enrolled Nurses receive training through VET providers and TAFE colleges, and can migrate to Australia via the Subclass 190 or Subclass 491 visa.

Registered Nurse (RN):Requires a bachelor’s degree or higher. Works primarily in hospitals, typically responsible for 5–6 patients at a time. Enrolled Nurses work under the supervision and direction of Registered Nurses, and are accountable both to the RN and for their own patients.Can migrate to Australia via the Subclass 189, 190, or 491 visa.

Generally speaking, we recommend pursuing a Registered Nurse programme in Australia — it is a recognised migration occupation, skills assessments are comparatively straightforward after completing an accredited course, and it opens more skilled migration pathways.

Beyond that, Registered Nurses earn a higher salary than Enrolled Nurses, and the workload is considerably lighter than that of nurses in China. Since Enrolled Nurses also work under the direction of Registered Nurses, we continue to recommend the RN pathway.
