Frequently asked questions
Can I refer candidates outside Australia?
Yes. CrossNation accepts referrals of candidates in Australia and overseas when they suit the roles employers brief us on.
What qualifications do referred aged care workers need?
Employers commonly look for a Certificate III in Individual Support (Ageing) or equivalent, which the Aged Care Award names for level 3 direct care, plus care experience. Enrolled and registered nurses need Ahpra registration.
Can you promise a referred candidate a job or a visa?
No. CrossNation cannot promise a job, a visa or a start date. CrossNation is a recruitment agency, not a registered migration agent. This is general information, not migration advice. Speak to a registered migration agent.
