Southern Health is the largest health care provider in Victoria, caring for people through every stage of their life. We service some of the fastest growing areas of Australia in Melbourne's South-East, Southern and Bayside suburbs, with hospitals at the Monash Medical Centre (Clayton and Moorabbin), Kingston Centre, Dandenong Hospital and Casey Hospital. Due to our size, we can offer you great career opportunities in every nursing speciality.

Through education and research in partnerships with world-renowned research institutions and universities, we are committed to making breakthroughs in treatment and prevention of disease.

Southern Health's commitment to nursing has been further strengthened through our partnership with Deakin University and the appointment of the Chair in Nursing, Professor Beverley O'Connell. This move signals the organisation's increasing commitment to clinical practice underpinned by leading-edge research. Southern Health's learning and development focus aligns education, research, changing workforce needs, all centred around patient care.
