Nursing
in Melbourne
A Family Experience |
|
My husband and I arrived
in January 2004, with the intention of staying
for only 12 months, and it was through HealthStaff
Recruitment that the initial point of contact
started. Although we tried to obtain employment
in Queensland and being very specific about what
I wanted to do in terms of area of specialty,
I was not deterred that there would be other opportunities
in other parts of Australia.
After my initial telephone
conversation with Joey from HealthStaff Recruitment
and a firm offer of employment for 12 months from
my current employer, we were on our way to Melbourne
within a short time. I started working in January
of this year as an Emergency Nurse. The first
few months were initially challenging and more
about understanding processes, protocols, and
systems of a
large organisation,
which
|
eventually
impact
on your current nursing practice.
Six months later,
it is getting easier but you continue to learn
and improve to obtain better patient outcomes
all the time. Our family enjoys Melbourne very
much and what the city has to offer, culturally,
socially and the standard of living is good. Although
we love New Zealand, our home country, we also
like to travel and believe Melbourne will be a
good base to visit the rest of Australia.
We are grateful for
HealthStaff Recruitment as they have been and
remain attentive towards ensuring we have a good
experience in Australia and I would recommend
any other health professional who may be interested
in seeking employment in Australia.

THE
BEST
RELOCATION
SERVICE
|
HealthStaff
Recruitment offers a comprehensive Relocation Assistance
Service. Our professional service is not just a pick up
from the Airport; it is much more! A friendly Meet and
Greet Coordinator will meet you at the airport and take
you to your initial accommodation, which HealthStaff would
have organised for you. You will be provided with information
on the local area including maps, also information on
local facilities, public transport, and getting to the
hospital where you will be working. You will also be given
advice on opening a bank account, applying for a tax file
number, and getting health insurance. So you will be organised!
|
Our relocation service includes advice on accommodation
options and the best ways to go about finding a new
place to live! Of course your consultants also offer
ongoing support throughout your contract, and we hold
social evenings throughout the year. We can even put
you in contact with other nurses in the same area or
from the same country.
Our Meet and Greet Coordinators have great local knowledge
and plenty of tips and advice. The HealthStaff team
provides the support and advice that is necessary to
ensure an easy transition and a great start to your
new job!

In
Australia's most cosmopolitan city you have the
choice of city or surf! If you choose Sydney city
there are some great ways to take in the views.
Blue Sky Helicopters buzz you from Sydney Harbour
through Homebush Olympic Stadium and then up to
the Blue Mountains. Centrepoint Tower offers panoramic
views from South to North Sydney. And for those
more daring, the "BridgeClimb" offers
a great
experience and |
remarkable views of Sydney
from the Harbour Bridge - www.bridgeclimb.com
If you prefer the surf,
you must see Bondi Beach. It is one of Sydney's
trendiest beaches offering surf, sun, good food,
art, and great opportunities to "people watch".
In August, join in the festivities of the "City
to Surf" fun-run where there's something
offered for everyone!

ADELAIDE
Declared by New Yorker magazine as "possibly the
last well planned and contented metropolis on earth";
and acclaimed by Lonely Planet as "civilised and
calm in a way that no other Australian state capital
can match". The wine and festival capital of Australia,
Adelaide is one of the most vibrant, stylish and innovative
cities you'll ever visit. With rolling hills, pristine
beaches, a lively nightlife, galleries, cafes, pubs,
bookshops, fashion houses, antique stores, cellar doors
and National Parks
(all within Adelaide's boundaries!), it's a city you'll
want to come back to time and time again…
