Take your nursing career further in cardiac care, where specialist practice, complex patients and continuous learning come together.
If cardiac nursing is where you want to take your career, there is no better place to develop your knowledge, clinical judgement and confidence than in an environment dedicated entirely to heart care.
We are seeking a Registered Nurse to join Ward 7B at the Victorian Heart Hospital, caring for patients across Cardiology, Cardiothoracic Surgery and Heart Failure within a highly specialised cardiac service.
About the Role
As a Registered Nurse on Ward 7B, you will provide safe, evidence-based and person-centred care to patients with a diverse range of cardiac conditions and increasingly complex healthcare needs.

- Contribute to a collaborative ward environment, sharing your knowledge and taking accountability for safe, high-quality care.
- Bring cardiac experience or strong acute nursing skills, and take this opportunity to build your cardiac expertise, learn from experienced clinicians and continue to grow your career in cardiac nursing.
