About the Role
An exceptional opportunity exists for an experienced paediatric oncology nurse leader to step into the role of Nurse Manager at the Monash Children's Cancer and Haematology Centre, one of Victoria's two comprehensive paediatric cancer centres. Based at Monash Children's Hospital Clayton campus, this full-time leadership position drives the operational, clinical, and strategic direction of a highly specialised unit caring for children and adolescents with cancer and serious haematological conditions.
About Us
The Monash Children’s Cancer and Haematology Centre (MCCHC), located within Monash Medical Centre (MMC), is a key component of Monash Children’s Hospital (MCH), providing care to approximately 30% of Victoria’s paediatric cancer patients.

The MCCHC brings together a dedicated paediatric haematology and oncology service within a purpose-built inpatient ward and adjoining day treatment centre. This integrated model supports the delivery of safe, high-quality, and patient-centred care for children and their families across the cancer and haematology continuum.
