2mo ago , from St Vincent's Health Australia

Purpose Lead. Patient-Centered. The perfect place to launch your RN career!

Launch Your RN career where ambition becomes impact!

St Vincent's Private Melbourne is looking for driven, curious graduate nurses ready to hit the ground running.
Our twelve-month Graduate Program offers something rare: the breadth of a large health system with the culture of a values-led organisation.
As a not-for-profit Catholic hospital network spanning East Melbourne, Fitzroy, Kew and Werribee, we exist to serve, and that mission shows up every day in how we work together and care for our people.

What your year will look like

You’ll have 2 six-month rotations across our four locations, giving you genuine exposure to high-acuity clinical environments that most nurses don’t get exposure to until years into their careers. They are cardiothoracics, neurosurgery, plastic and reconstructive surgery, orthopaedics, haematology/oncology and colorectal surgery.
You’ll also have the opportunity to experience specialty areas including intensive care, recovery, peri-operative care, and cardiac/vascular.
You won’t be thrown in the deep end. Our clinical educators and experienced multidisciplinary team are with you at every step, building your confidence, sharpening your skills, and setting you up for a long, rewarding career.

Who we’re looking for

RNs who are ready to grow fast, embrace challenge, and become the kind of clinician patients and colleagues rely on.




This program is open to candidates who have completed a Bachelor of Nursing Program or equivalent.
You must be eligible to gain registration as a Registered Nurse with AHPRA (www.ahpra.com.au) and will be available to commence the program in February 2027.
