A 407 training plan for registered nurses (ANZSCO 254499) is an essential document for Australian employers sponsoring international nursing professionals under the subclass 407 training visa. At WIDEN Migration Experts, we specialise in crafting comprehensive, AQF-mapped training plans that meet Department of Home Affairs requirements with a proven 100% approval rate since 2018. This guide walks you through everything you need to know about securing a compliant 407 training plan for your nursing recruits.

What Is a 407 Training Plan for Registered Nurses?

A 407 training plan is a formal document that outlines the structured training and development program an international registered nurse will undertake while working in Australia. The plan must demonstrate clear learning outcomes, workplace competency development, and alignment with Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) standards and ANZSCO occupational codes.

For registered nurses under ANZSCO 254499, the training plan serves several critical purposes:

  • Demonstrates the trainee will gain genuine work experience and skills development
  • Outlines measurable competencies aligned to Australian nursing standards
  • Shows mentorship and supervision arrangements
  • Proves the training is in the genuine interests of the trainee
  • Satisfies Department of Home Affairs compliance requirements

The 407 training visa itself allows employers to bring skilled workers to Australia for short-term training lasting up to two years. It’s particularly valuable for healthcare facilities looking to upskill international nursing talent while meeting temporary staffing needs.

ANZSCO 254499 Registered Nurse Requirements

ANZSCO 254499 encompasses Registered Nurses not elsewhere classified, including specialist nursing roles and emerging practice areas. When preparing a 407 training plan for registered nurses, your document must specifically address:

  • Registration status: Confirmation the trainee holds current nursing registration in their home country
  • Clinical competencies: Nursing skills gaps specific to Australian healthcare systems, practices, and technologies
  • Professional development: Qualifications or certifications the trainee will obtain (e.g., aged care, critical care, mental health specialisation)
  • Workplace supervision: Details of the registered nurse or senior clinician who will mentor the trainee
  • Performance milestones: Measurable outcomes across each training phase
  • AQF alignment: Connection to relevant AQF qualifications (typically AQF Level 6 for registered nurses)

Our MARA registered migration agent, Keshab Chapagain (MARN 1576536), ensures every nursing training plan reflects these specific requirements and addresses the unique clinical context of your healthcare facility.

The 407 Training Visa Process for Nurses

Understanding the broader context helps explain why a robust training plan matters. The subclass 407 training visa is specifically designed for temporary training arrangements. For registered nurses, the process typically follows these steps:

  1. Identify your trainee nurse: Select an international registered nurse you wish to bring to Australia for structured training
  2. Prepare the 407 training plan: Engage WIDEN to develop a compliant, occupation-specific plan (5-7 business days)
  3. Gather supporting documents: Collect evidence of the trainee’s nursing qualifications, registration, and work history
  4. Arrange sponsorship nomination: Register with Department of Home Affairs as a training sponsor (if not already registered)
  5. Submit visa application: Your trainee applies offshore with the training plan and supporting documents
  6. Grant and commencement: Once approved, the nurse can commence training in Australia for up to 2 years

At the end of the training period, some nurses may transition to longer-term work visas. If your trainee demonstrates exceptional skills, you might consider 482 nomination documents for skilled migration, though this involves separate processes and requirements.

Pricing and Timeline for Your 407 Training Plan

One of WIDEN’s key advantages is transparent, competitive pricing combined with rapid delivery:

  • Cost: From $1,650 +GST for a comprehensive, customised 407 training plan
  • Turnaround: 5-7 business days from your instruction
  • Revisions: Reasonable revisions included to ensure your complete satisfaction
  • Additional support: Optional add-on services available for visa application guidance and sponsorship documentation

This pricing applies across all occupations we support—from nursing and aged care to chefs, mechanics, IT professionals, engineers, trades, hospitality, hairdressers, and bakers. Regardless of occupation, you receive the same expert-level attention and ANZSCO/AQF alignment.

The 5-7 business day turnaround is significantly faster than attempting to develop a plan in-house, which typically takes weeks of internal coordination and often produces non-compliant documents.
