Job description

NICU Registered Nurse

Every breath, every milestone, and every tiny heartbeat matters. At Joan Kirner Women’s and Children’s (JKWC), we provide advanced, compassionate critical care to Victoria’s most vulnerable newborns.

As part of a major expansion to support Melbourne’s rapidly growing western corridor, we are seeking dedicated and experienced Neonatal Intensive Care Registered Nurses for newly created vacancies.

If you are an exceptional clinician driven by evidence-based excellence, family-centred advocacy, and advanced clinical practice, step into a department designed to empower your career.

The Opportunity: Innovation, Scale, and Support

Our state-of-the-art Newborn Services department manages nearly 2,000 admissions each year across a 36-bed inpatient footprint, combining 18 Intensive Care (NICU) & High Dependency beds and 18 Special Care Nursery suites.

  • Clinical Excellence: Lead critical interventions, high-acuity stabilisations, and individualised care plans within a collaborative, multidisciplinary medical and nursing team.
  • Advanced Career Pathways: Benefit from tailored education through the Western Health Learning Academy, dedicated mentorship/preceptorship programs, and supported postgraduate pathways.
  • Global Talent Welcome: Full visa sponsorship and relocation pathways are available for qualified international NICU nurses moving to Melbourne, Australia.

What You Bring

  • Registration: Current AHPRA Registered Nurse registration (or international eligibility for sponsorship).
  • Experience & Expertise: A minimum of 12-24 months of high-acuity Neonatal Intensive Care experience, backed by sharp clinical assessment and risk-mitigation skills.
  • Qualifications: Bachelor of Nursing; a Postgraduate Certificate in Neonatal Intensive Care is highly regarded.
  • Philosophy: Passion for family-centred care, multi-disciplinary teamwork, and continuous quality improvement.

Rewards & Culture

  • Competitive Remuneration: Classification Grade 2 (Year 2-8) under the Victorian Public Health Sector Enterprise Agreement + Superannuation + generous Salary Packaging.
  • Work-Life Balance: Genuine flexibility with tailored Full-Time and Part-Time permanent rosters.
  • Wellbeing First: Comprehensive employee health, psychological safety, and wellbeing programs in an inclusive, progressive culture.

Ready to Shape the Future of Neonatal Care?

Be part of an exceptional team dedicated to clinical mastery and transformative patient outcomes.
