Port Macquarie Nursing Life :: Working Life

Port Macquarie offers a wide range of opportunities for nurses interested in being part of a service which is growing, and planning creatively and proactively for future growth. The hospital has a number of partnerships which will be of benefit to our nursing staff, with the development of a new oncology unit and a university teaching unit on site. As the population of our region grows, our hospital services are expanding and this opens up many doors for nurses who seek a well defined career path, further training and the opportunity to work in well resourced, positive environment.

Our hospital is characterised by friendly relations within the staffing structure and we are a cohesive and happy team, united by our desire to care for others and our choice to live away from the pollution, insecurity and hurly burly of big city life.

Port Macquarie Base Hospital, located on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales, provides 24 hour Emergency Services, Critical Care, Obstetrics/Gynaecology, Medicine, General and Vascular Surgery, Orthopaedic Surgery, ENT, Ophthalmology, Gastroenterology, Paediatric Care and Mental Health inpatients (voluntary) and a Mental Health Community Service.
