Each of the health services within these health regions makes independent decisions in relation to the recruitment and career paths for nurses within these organisations.
Victoria, and Melbourne in particular, offer world class tertiary hospital services, including The Royal Children's Hospital, The Alfred, and Monash Medical Centre as well as a number of outstanding primary care services. As such, Victoria offers an incredibly diverse range of career settings for nurses to work and enjoy incredibly rewarding work experiences.
There are shortages of nurses in some fields of specialisation and in some regional areas in particular.
Nurses in Victoria fall under the national registration framework for nurses in Australia, and as such they must be registered to work as a nurse by the
