Add expected salary to your profile for insights

Applications are open for Registered Nurses to join our leading hospitals within East Metropolitan Health Services (EMHS). We are looking for Nurses who are passionate about making a difference to the lives of people in our community.

We are seeking to establish a pool of talented Registered Nurses to expand the nursing team across our hospitals at Royal Perth Hospital, Bentley Health Service, Armadale Health Service and Kalamunda Hospital. 

If you have experience in the areas of Medical, Surgical, Mental Health, Peri-operative and other speciality areas, we would like to hear from you. Please note that for ICU, Mental Health and Perioperative specialties, we are seeking Registered Nurses with at least one year of speciality related experience.

Registered Nurses made successful to this recruitment can choose to be placed in their preferred specialty area. All specialty nursing positions offered are subject to current vacancy.

Alternatively, if you are seeking diversity of experience by working across a range of differing specialty wards/areas you can work in the Royal Perth Bentley Group’s (RPBG) centralised permanent Corporate Nursing Pool. This pool of nurses covers staffing shortfalls for mainly short term to medium-term periods.

Our vision, “Healthy people, amazing care. Koorda moort, moorditj kwabadak”, captures the essence of what we do and what we inspire each other to do every day – show compassion, dedication and professionalism.

We aren’t just looking for locals

If you are an experienced Registered Nurse currently located in other parts of Australia or overseas and would like to live in and experience the natural beauty and amazing lifestyle WA has to offer, then we encourage you to apply. Click here for the WA Health international recruitment page .
