With regards to your dilemma, it's really expensive if you go via conversion program but after the course you are already a Division 1 nurse and isang buhos na lang ng gastos.
You mentioned about aged care/ diploma after the course carer ka or division 2 nurse na according to other forum mahirap talaga makakuha ng sponsorship for working. Let's assume na you were able to get an employer after your studies tapos you want to upgrade to a Division 1 nurse, you will still need to enroll in bridging program and pass the IELTS for you to be able to qualify. If you're going to sum it up, this is longer and mas magastos. My POV lang naman. It's still your call though.
Hope I was able to help. Make a wise and practical decision. Godbless you!

yung brother in law ko gusto namin i student din (actually dapat ung sis ko pero tamad mag aral).Registered nurse din sya dyan sa Pinas pero wlang experience, So Im wondering eligible ba sya for conversion program, san ngpapa assess sa AHPRA ba o sa school mismo.
Im planning to support him for the duration of his study,sialng pamilya with 1 yr old baby. Would my payslip and employment details enough as financial documents (dito na ko sa australia)n o kelangan talaga ng amount sa bank?
Sorry ginawa kitang agent , yaw ko kc mg agent nagiging third party ako.
He's planning to take up bachelors of nursing as well.
Thanks. congratulations by the way on visa grant.

mag a IELTS ulit sya ngayng sept, di kc umabot ung score nya sana makaabot sya sa Feb intake miss ko na kc kapatid ko gusto ko na makasama. Kelangan pla mghanap talaga ng ganung amount, kaya ko lang sagutin ung tuition nya and their living expense but wla akong ganung kalaking acct sa bank. BUt Im looking at Victoria Uni or Ballarat Uni mas mura kc dun kesa sa deakin.

Anyhoo! One month nako dito so far okay naman, except that as time passes, iniisip ko kung pano macoconvert ang visa ko sa 457. Or kung palarin, skilled independent. Unfortunately, my current course here will be of no help based on the migration agent I talked to. Pero fortunately, I have a degree in Early Childhood Education so may chance ako kahit papano.
@R_Yell Depende yan actually sa school. Most universities will require you to pay one time big time. Pero most colleges have installment plans.
@nj87 I suggest you dont leave the country whilst waiting for the results. Usually kasi if may kulang, ieemail ka nila and you have to send it asap eh. Unless you'd rather have them wait, and have your case go at the bottom of the pile. So wag ka muna umalis. Wait for the result, then go travel.
