Anu Ashokan, Registered Nurse, Northwest Regional Hospital

“If you are hardworking, need a peaceful calm life, want to be financially independent and are looking for a safe work environment and community…Tasmania is the right choice.”

Anu Ashokan and her husband Amal moved to Tasmania from India. As a Critical Care and Emergency Registered Nurse, Anu was attracted by the level of care provided through the Australian health care system and the government’s support for the wellbeing of the community.

Anu’s past qualifications and experience, coupled with her Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Authority (AHPRA) registration, saw her meet one of Tasmania’s highest demand occupations. This enabled her to quickly become an essential part of the Tasmanian community.

“The demand for nurses and midwives is extremely high. When I was granted my visa, I had my first job offer letter in a week. All my work environments, colleagues and my patients have been very friendly, supportive, and motivating with their positive attitudes towards new migrants.”

Anu and Amal enjoy the benefits of a high-quality life, education and safe working environment.

“Tasmania is one of the world’s best places, as it is cherished with beauty of nature, community and opportunities. The Tasmanian community is very approachable, easy going and supportive for newly arrived migrants like us.”
