What your day could look like
As Nurse Manager Quality and Safety, you'll play a vital role in strengthening how care is delivered across Women's and Children's Services. By guiding quality systems, supporting clinical teams and driving improvement, you'll help ensure patients and families experience safe, reliable and compassionate care. You'll work closely with leaders and clinicians, contributing to outcomes that matter for our community.
Every day, you'll contribute by:
Leading quality and safety initiatives that reduce risk and improve patient outcomes
Partnering with nurse and midwifery leaders to embed strong clinical governance practices
Guiding responses to incidents and safety concerns with clarity, expertise and care
Championing continuous improvement, innovation and learning across clinical teams
Let's talk about you!
You bring both confidence and empathy to your leadership. You're someone who sees quality and safety not as processes, but as a promise to patients, families and staff. Calm under pressure and clear in your thinking, you know how to bring people together to create safer systems and better experiences. You'll feel proud knowing your work strengthens trust, supports clinicians and protects those in our care.
Here's what will help you thrive in this role:
Registration as a Registered Nurse and Registered Midwife in Australia
Strong experience in quality, safety, clinical governance or service improvement
Ability to lead, influence and collaborate across multidisciplinary teams
A values-led approach grounded in compassion, integrity and courage
You'll stand out from the crowd if you have postgraduate study in a relevant field and/or experience leading improvement in complex or hospital settings.
This role is about making care safer today and building stronger systems for tomorrow, guided by dignity, innovation and genuine commitment to our community.
