Yes—roles can be available in aged care, disability support, and care assistance, depending on employer needs and location. Requirements and visa options differ from nursing roles.

A typical pathway looks like this:

1. Confirm your occupation & visa pathway (189/190/491) 

2. Complete NMBA/AHPRA IQNM self-check (for international nurses) 

3. Apply for AHPRA registration once you meet IQNM requirements 

4. Get a skills assessment (commonly ANMAC for nursing) 

5. Submit EOI in SkillSelect (points-tested) 

6. If invited, lodge visa via ImmiAccount and upload documents (health/character etc. as required) 

7. If you go regional (491), you may later progress to PR depending on rules and eligibility.

(Exact steps vary by profile, state rules, and visa conditions.)
