Nursing and Midwifery
Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital (SCGH) has a proud nursing tradition with our nurses at the heart of the hospital from ward through to board level.
We are the employer of choice for Western Australia’s new nurses – for each of the past five years more nursing graduates have chosen to start their careers at SCGH than at any other hospital in the State.
We offer nurses of all levels unrivalled opportunities for career progression and development. Our Centre for Nursing Education offers an extensive education and training program. Our centre for Nursing Research, which has strong links with Edith Cowan University, Curtin University and Murdoch University, use research to advance nursing practice and continually improve patient outcomes.
