Information Technology
The Marian Centre embraces new information technology, facilitating more effective and secure communication between all the members of the team as well as maintaining consistent electronic medical records.
The Information Technology infrastructure was created to support effective clinical and operational functioning of the Centre in all its locations. The new technologies benefit all members of the staff, accredited clinicians, patients and their carers. This technology also prevents duplications of clinical information and multiple data entry, thus increasing productivity and the job satisfaction of the staff.

Overseas Trained Nurses and Sponsorship
The Marian Centre welcomes overseas applicants and can assist in obtaining the relevant work visa by sponsoring appropriate applicants.
Before starting working as a nurse, the applicant needs to complete two separate processes.
- Recognition of the Nursing Qualification by the Australian Nursing Council. Contact the Australian Nursing Council at www.anmc.org.au as they need to assess the suitability of the qualifications for immigration purposes before an applicant can be registered or enrolled. It is not possible to proceed until this is completed.
- Registration with the State Nursing Board. Each State in Australia operates their own Nurses Registration Board or Council, which are charged under an Australia Act of Parliament to register nurses, monitor breaches of conduct and review educational standards. The Western Australian board can be found at www.nbwa.org.au. Registration is applicable only to the Overseas Trained Nurse whose qualification has already been recognised by the Australian Nursing Council and who is going to work in a place that is within the jurisdiction of the Nursing Board. Generally, if you are registered with one State Nursing Board, you can practice freely in the other states, but you need to contact the respective State Nursing Board for current procedures.
Once these steps are completed the applicant needs forward the approval of the Australian Nursing Counsel to The Marian Centre, which will then apply to Department of Immigration agreeing to Sponsor the applicant.
The Marian Centre then forwards this approval to the applicant to include in their application submission to the Australian High Commission.
The applicant applies for a Permanent Resident Visa Form 47ES or Temporary Business visa Form 1066.
