Your opportunity
We have an exciting opportunity for a Registered Nurse (RN) to join the nursing team at the St George Hospital. St George is located 6 hours from Brisbane and 2 hours from Roma.
The RN demonstrates competence in the provision of nursing care as specified by registration requirements, NMBA standards and codes, educational preparations, relevant legislation and context of care.
The registered nurse practices independently and interdependently and assumes accountability and responsibility for own actions and delegation of care to enrolled nurse, assistants in nursing and healthcare workers.
The very nature of what we do and who we are is the real opportunity. Providing health care in the bush is full of challenges, however, it remains the most rewarding of human experiences.
St George is a designated Remote Area Nursing Incentive Package (RANIP) site in accordance with the Nurses and Midwives (Queensland Health) Award – State 2015. This attracts additional entitlements which may include:
- An annual isolation bonus paid annually!
- Return airfares to the nearest provincial city in conjunction with leave!
- Additional annual leave per annum!
Please note: Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) implications may apply, it is recommended that individuals seek independent financial advice.

St George Hospital is a 31 bed facility located 513kms west of Brisbane, servicing a population of approximately 2,400. Whether you are after a tree change, or a pace change, you will quickly become part of the community you care for in St George.
