Nursing excellence at our hospitals

At St Vincent’s Private Hospitals, our nurses strive to deliver the highest standards of quality and safety with a commitment to excellence in compassionate, patient-centred care.

Nurses at our hospitals thrive in a supportive working environment that includes teamwork, educational support and professional development, clinical education programs and competitive salary packages- including the opportunity to increase take-home pay.

Over time, we have built a culture of success that has enabled us to achieve a remarkable level of engagement amongst our nurses.

We show our commitment to continuing education through our partnerships with several universities where our nurses can further their professional development. We also provide nursing experience opportunities to final year school students and we support a program of cadetship in nursing for First Australians.

Migration assistance

To work in Australia as a midwife or nurse you’ll need a Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa and need to be sponsored by an approved business. This visa allows you to:

• Work in Australia for a defined period of time
• Bring members of your family unit to work or study in Australia
• Travel in and out of Australia as often as you want

You can be in or outside Australia when you lodge your application.

You must have a valid passport or other travel document for this visa. If you plan to get a new passport, you should do so before applying for your visa.

For successful candidates, visa sponsorship and relocation assistance is available. Visa sponsorship is subject to Australian visa requirements.
