About the opportunity

The position will be primarily based at our Bendigo practice, with opportunities to work at our Echuca clinic where required.

Unlike many hospital-based nursing positions, this role offers reliable and predictable daytime office hours, with no rotating shifts or overnight work. It is an excellent opportunity for a nurse seeking greater routine and work–life balance while continuing to use their clinical skills in a specialist environment.

This role would particularly suit an experienced acute-care, coronary-care, emergency or critical-care nurse looking to transition into specialist outpatient cardiology.

To apply, please submit your résumé and a cover letter outlining your relevant experience and interest in the position.
