Redcliffe Hospital is currently not considering applicants who do not have a valid visa to work in Australia. Potential applicants wishing to work in Australia should contact the Department of Home Affairs for information on visa options.

Proof of residency depends on whether you are an Australian Citizen or in Australia on a visa.

Australian Citizens

You must provide a copy of a valid Australian passport or a copy of your Australian birth certificate or an Australian Citizenship Certificate.

Permanent residents and other visa holders

You must provide a copy of your valid passport and a copy of your valid visa. Visa holders will have their work rights checked prior to their application being considered. If you do not wish this to occur, please indicate this when submitting the documentation. Visa holders are also required to complete a consent form for a Work Rights Check with the Department of Home Affairs. This consent form will be forwarded to appropriate applicants by Nursing and Midwifery Recruitment on receipt of all other documentation. Applicants without valid work rights will not be considered for employment.

You will need to provide evidence of your name change. This must be submitted with your other documentation.

As a New Zealand citizen, you will automatically be issued with an electronic visa on arrival in Australia. New Zealand citizens are only required to submit their valid passport as proof of residency.

It is a requirement that all employees have a legal right to work in Australia. Australian citizens automatically have work rights in Australia. Permanent residents and other visa holders require their work rights to be confirmed with the Department of Home Affairs prior to commencing employment. Applicants without a legal right to work in Australia will not have their applications considered.

You will be required to present the registration (and evidence of Certificate III or continuing enrolment in relevant higher education course) as part of the application process. Evidence related to criminal history checking and mandatory vaccination is not required at application.

Any additional information requirements, including those related to criminal history checking and mandatory vaccinations will be discussed with you by the selection panel.

Once your application has been submitted and assessed as complete (Nursing and Midwifery Recruitment will contact you via email if additional information is required), your application will be reviewed for suitability in relation to potential positions. If suitable positions are available, your application will be forwarded to the relevant team for further review. If appropriate, you will be contacted by a member of the team to discuss the position/s available and to organise an interview. If you are deemed suitable for employment but are not offered a position, we will add your application to the Redcliffe Hospital waiting list.

Applications which are deemed suitable for a position, but for which there are currently no positions, will be placed on the Redcliffe Hospital waiting list for a period of 3 months. Your application may be considered for suitable positions that become available within the following 3 months.

If your application has been on the waiting list for a period of 3 months and you have not secured a position, you will need to reapply to Nursing and Midwifery Recruitment with a complete application.

No, positions are not guaranteed. Applicants can remain on the waiting list for a period of 3 months without having to reapply for a position. After this time, an updated complete application must be submitted.

Complete applications should be submitted via email to Nursing and Midwifery Recruitment at Redcliffe-nursing@health.qld.gov.au

For applicants within Australia, applications should be submitted no more than 6 weeks prior to date of availability. Applicants who are outside of Australia should apply no more than 3 months prior to availability date.

Graduate Registered Nurses and Midwives are recruited through a centralised system for all Queensland Health facilities. Applications open twice yearly and must be submitted through the Queensland Government Graduate Portal. Applications cannot be submitted directly to Redcliffe Hospital or any other Metro North Hospital and Health Services facility/service.
