Build your ED career in a hospital small enough to know your potential — and broad enough to take you somewhere.
Forbes offers something increasingly hard to find: real Emergency nursing experience, educators who invest in your development, and visible pathways into CNS and leadership roles within a smaller, fully functioning procedural hospital.
This is not just another ED roster.
You'll keep Emergency nursing as your clinical base while working within a hospital that also provides maternity, theatres, renal and inpatient care.
That gives you a wider view of the patient journey, access to experienced colleagues across the service and more ways to build your career over time.
At Forbes, your skills are seen.
Your development is encouraged.
Your next step is easier to picture.
Why Forbes ED stands out
The Forbes team describes a workplace with a robust, welcoming culture that new staff notice quickly.
Nurses work closely across the hospital, build genuine connections with ambulance colleagues and support each other both inside and outside work.
It is the kind of team where you can arrive in a new town and find your people more easily.
For an Emergency RN, that matters.
You still get the pace, variety and unpredictability of ED nursing — but with stronger relationships around you and more opportunity to learn from the wider service.
ED is your base, not your boundary
Forbes is a procedural hospital with maternity, theatres, renal and inpatient services onsite.




That breadth creates opportunities to strengthen your emergency nursing capability while also exploring other clinical areas as your interests grow.
You gain a clearer understanding of how care connects across the hospital, rather than seeing only one part of a patient's journey.
Clinical educators work across the service and support staff to keep learning, build confidence and develop new skills.
Career progression you can actually see
Forbes does not just talk about professional development.
The pathways are visible in the people already working here.
Nurses are encouraged to continue learning, work toward Clinical Nurse Specialist roles and develop leadership capability.
Local leaders have progressed from early-career nursing through clinical work, midwifery, quality and safety, Nurse Manager and acting Health Service Manager responsibilities.
If your ambition is to deepen your ED practice, broaden your clinical range or move toward senior roles, Forbes gives you room to step forward.
A team where connection comes naturally
The team culture is one of Forbes' strongest selling points.
Staff know each other, support each other and make a conscious effort to welcome new arrivals.
Social connections extend beyond the hospital, making it easier to settle in and build a life locally.




In the bush, community is not just a lifestyle phrase.
It is the practical safety net around you: open doors, familiar faces and people who notice when someone needs a hand.
Why Forbes?
Forbes is a well-serviced Central West town set around Lake Forbes and the Lachlan River.
Daily life is easy to navigate.
Work, schools, shops, sport and local activities are close by, so less of your day disappears into commuting.
Outside work, you can walk or cycle around the lake, spend time on the water, join local sporting clubs or become part of a community calendar that brings people together throughout the year.
Forbes has the scale to give you what you need day to day, while still offering the connection people often miss in larger cities.
It is a place where colleagues become friends, neighbours look out for each other and working in health gives you a visible place in the community.
