Frequently asked Questions - Health personnel

What are the requirements for healthcare staff to work in Austria?

For you to work as a nurse, practical nurse, physiotherapist or massage therapist in Austria, you need to have your education and qualifications recognised. This process includes nostrification of diplomas/certificates and registration in the register of healthcare professions. Massage therapists only complete the first step, which is recognition of education. They are not registered in the register.

How does the process of having my healthcare diploma recognised work?

The process of recognition involves submitting an application to the Federal Ministry for Social Affairs, Health, Care and Consumer Protection. You will need to submit translated and certified copies of your documents, the list of which we will send you by email. After your application is assessed, you will receive confirmation of the recognition of your qualification.

What language skills are required and how can I prove them?

For healthcare work in Austria, knowledge of German is required. You can prove your language skills with a certificate from a recognised language test or a secondary school-leaving certificate. The certificate can be replaced by confirmation of at least one year of professional experience in healthcare or a social profession in a German-speaking country. Nurses and physiotherapists must have language level B2, healthcare assistants and practical nurses B1. Massage therapists do not need proof of language skills, but they also need to be able to communicate at level B1.

How long does the entire process of education recognition and registration take?

From submitting the application to the Federal Ministry, the entire process takes approximately 3 months. Everything depends on the official who assesses your application and on how quickly you can prepare all the materials needed for the recognition of education and registration in the register of healthcare professions.

Do I need a work permit to work in Austria?

As a citizen of Slovakia, you do not need a special work permit to work in Austria. However, you must register with the relevant authorities after arriving in the country.

What are the salary conditions for healthcare personnel in Austria?

Salary conditions vary depending on the position, region and specific employer. Generally, salaries for healthcare staff in Austria are higher than in Slovakia and include additional benefits such as contributions towards accommodation or meals. Salaries for individual positions can be found with each job offer on our website.

Where in Austria can I find employment?

In Austria, you can find employment in various healthcare facilities, including public and private hospitals, clinics, rehabilitation centres and retirement homes. The Austrian healthcare system is highly developed and offers numerous opportunities for healthcare staff. You can focus on larger cities such as Vienna, Graz, Linz, Salzburg and Innsbruck, where there is a higher concentration of healthcare facilities and job opportunities, but also on smaller and quieter locations around larger cities.

How is accommodation arranged for healthcare workers?

Accommodation is free with most job offers. Retirement homes are particularly preferred, as they offer a private room directly in the facility, meaning you don't have to commute to work. Information about whether a particular job offers accommodation and what is free can be found in the details of each of our offers.
