Looking to grow your nursing career in a supportive aged care environment?

Join the Transition to Residential Aged Care (TRAC) Unit, a 20-bed ward where acute care nursing meets residential aged care. This is a rewarding opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of older people as they navigate an important transition into residential aged care.

Our patients have recovered from their acute medical conditions but are no longer able to safely return home.

Why join our team?

- Education support available five days a week to help you build confidence and develop your clinical skills.
- A welcoming and supportive team environment where junior nurses are encouraged to apply.
- Opportunities to grow your career and develop your skills in aged care and palliative care nursing.




- A unit currently undergoing significant renovations to enhance staff wellbeing and improve patient outcomes.

What you'll bring

- Current registration with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) as an Enrolled Nurse.
