International Healthcare Recruitment

Your pathway to a new future as nurse.

International nursing recruitment. Supporting nurses from first application to their new professional future in Austria.

Recruitment. Preparation. Documentation. Relocation.

One structured pathway.

What is Nova Access

More than recruitment.

Moving to another country for your career is more than finding a job.

NOVA ACCESS supports qualified international nurses who want to build their professional future in Austria and guides them through the entire process before relocation.

From initial screening and qualification checks to language preparation, documentation and coordination of the relocation process, we create one clear pathway from application to arrival.

Why Austria

What waits for you in Austria.

The Red-White-Red Card

The Red-White-Red Card is the Austrian residence and work permit for qualified professionals from non-EU countries. As a nurse you qualify under the category for skilled workers in shortage occupations.

We prepare the complete application with you: document collection, certified translations, recognition of your diploma and submission to the responsible authority.

Step by step

Your way to Austria.

01

Application

Complete the online form and upload your documents.

Requirement: a completed nursing education (e.g. BSN or a diploma in nursing) in your home country.

How it works: fill in the online application and upload your diploma, CV and photo.

What happens next: we review your application within 3–5 days. If the first check is positive, you receive our okay and can choose an interview slot.

02

Interview

A personal conversation about your qualification and your goals.

We get to know each other, answer all your questions and explain the programme in detail.

It works both ways: we check whether you fit the programme, and you decide whether we are the right partner for you.

After the interview you receive our decision within two days.

03

German training

Structured German training with Deutsch Talk.

After acceptance: an internal German test places you at the right level and you are assigned to a matching course.

Deutsch Talk trains you from your current level up to B2 — flexible and online.

No pressure: you continue only when our team confirms that you have reached the required level.

04

Recognition & visa

Nostrification of your diploma and the Red-White-Red Card.

As soon as your German level fits, we submit your documents for nostrification, the official recognition of your nursing diploma.

With the recognition decision we prepare the Red-White-Red Card application for you.

Your part: collecting the documents from our detailed list and having some of them certified. We take care of the rest.

05

Arrival in Austria

Flight, housing and your new position are prepared.

Everything is prepared before you board: flight booked, accommodation waiting, and your employer Bona Dea Care expecting you.

This is where NOVA ACCESS hands over to Bona Dea Care, who supports you on the ground with integration, family reunification and your professional recognition.

International recruitment should not end at the airport. That is why NOVA ACCESS, Deutsch Talk and Bona Dea Care work as one coordinated team.

NOVA ACCESS prepares everything abroad and accompanies you until your flight. Deutsch Talk supports you with German abroad and in Austria until you pass B2. Bona Dea Care is your employer and caregiver in Austria, taking care of housing, family reunification and long-term integration.

Our commitment

We value people, not volume.

With us, you join with commitment, not money. We are looking for people who are serious about their future.

What we believe

Because people come first. Always.

01

Respect

We value every nurse as a person with a family, goals, and a future.

02

Integrity

Honest guidance, clear expectations, and no false promises.

03

Commitment

We stay with you through the entire preparation, until your flight to Austria.

04

Human dignity

International recruitment should protect people, not treat them as products.

Why with us

What makes this different.

We don't simply place nurses and move on — we take responsibility for the entire journey.

A personal coach

One fixed personal coach from day one until your arrival — and beyond. One person who knows your entire journey and supports you in professional and personal matters.

No financial hurdles

Our candidates pay no recruitment or placement fees. You organise and pay for your own documents and apostille — keep every invoice. Once you are in Austria, your documented expenses are reimbursed. Commitment instead of payment.

Everything from one hand

Recruitment, language school, employment and integration — one coordinated system with clear structures. No chaos between different providers; your employment is within our own partner organisation.

A safe start in Austria

Accommodation is ready when you arrive, with a structured arrival and ongoing local support. At no point are you left on your own.

Family included

Family reunification is planned from the very beginning — including a free A1 German course for your spouse. We accompany your whole family through the process.

A language system that works

Practical German training with flexible timing and individual learning speed — focused on real communication, not memorising. A system that adapts to real life.

Smart with certificates

Your level is assessed internally by our own language school — no unnecessary exam pressure abroad. Official B1/B2 exams take place in Austria, where real competence grows.

Commitment over payment

We choose by attitude, not by money: responsibility, effort and reliability. Our nurses invest time and commitment — never fees.

“We don't simply create jobs — we build structured, safe and long-term perspectives. With us you are not a number. You are part of a system designed to make you succeed.”

Recruiting focus

Starting with the Philippines.

Our initial recruiting focus is on qualified Filipino nurses.

The Philippines has a strong tradition of internationally trained healthcare professionals and highly qualified nursing graduates.

NOVA ACCESS builds direct pathways for nurses and supports nurses who want to prepare for a professional future in Austria.

Further countries of origin will follow as the pool expands.
