Monash Women’s is offering an exciting opportunity for Registered Nurses to join our maternity service at Monash Medical Centre, Clayton as a Neonatal and Postnatal Support Nurse (NPSN).

The NPSN is a dedicated nursing role introduced to strengthen our model of care for women, newborns and families. Working on our postnatal wards, you will provide nursing care to newborns who require additional clinical support, helping mothers and babies remain together wherever clinically appropriate.

You’ll work alongside experienced midwives, neonatal clinicians and the broader multidisciplinary team – bringing your established nursing skills while developing new capability in neonatal care.

This is a fixed term opportunity until June 2027, commencing in October. We have full time or part time opportunities, across a rotating roster, all shifts including night Duty.

New to Neonatal Care? We’ll Support You.
