Registered Nurse – Emergency Department – Incentives Offered
Dubbo Health Service
Be the Best Emergency Department Nurse You Can Be – Join Dubbo Emergency Department and Regional Trauma Service.
Are you ready to make a real impact in emergency nursing, accelerate your career, and be part of a close-knit, supportive team? At Dubbo Emergency Department and Regional Trauma Service, we deliver high-acuity care to a large rural and remote region of Western NSW. Our location presents a unique and rewarding mix of clinical challenges that will stretch your skills and broaden your experience.
Why Dubbo ED?
Located in a modern, purpose-built facility opened just five years ago, Dubbo ED is the heartbeat of trauma and emergency care in Western NSW. The nature of our geography, outdoor lifestyle, delayed care presentations, and distance from tertiary services (400km from major referral partners) means you’ll often work to the top of your scope, with plenty of opportunity to lead and grow your clinical practice before initiating referrals.
Your Growth Is Our Priority
If you bring a ‘can-do’ attitude and a passion for learning, you’ll thrive in our Transition to Specialist Practice in Emergency Nursing Program, and be well-supported by senior staff and educators as you work toward accreditation, building advanced skills in a high-acuity, high-variety environment.
An Inclusive Team Culture
At Dubbo ED, you’ll join a truly inclusive, multidisciplinary, and multicultural team that values every individual. We rely on one another, celebrate our differences, and share in both the challenges and joys of emergency care.
This role is for an ambitious, adaptable, and resourceful clinician - someone committed to health equity, driven to develop professionally, and ready to contribute meaningfully in a team where your voice matters.
Challenge yourself. Make a difference. Shape the future of rural health. Join the Dubbo Emergency Department.
