The Heart of Care in WA

Royal Perth Hospital nurses have unlimited opportunities for their careers. The hospital consistently delivers world leading and progressive health care covering many specialties - and our nursing staff are an integral part of the delivery of this health care to our patients.

Our nurses provide a continuum of care for our patients. This includes community preventative health and health promotion, inpatient care, outpatient clinics, discharge management and Royal Perth Hospital's Hospital in the Home.

Nurses working at Royal Perth Hospital are respected for their professional judgement, and equally as important, respected as individuals. We seek to understand each nurse's career aspirations, along with their need to juggle the demands of everyday life. We offer our nurses a comprehensive range of career opportunities, resources and employment options to meet their individual needs.

Our nurses are at the centre of the care we provide - and we are extremely proud of their valuable contribution to the people of Western Australia.

“My nursing career has given me many opportunities to succeed, challenges to overcome and rewards worth remembering. The path I have travelled has given me the skills and knowledge needed for the position I hold today, and I am very thankful for them.

As a passionate advocate for nurses and their crucial role in health care, I am extremely pleased to note the expanding leadership opportunities opening for those in the nursing profession. When combined with our growing scope of practice, there has never been a better time to become a nurse.

However, it is important to remember our primary responsibility as nurses – caring for people. At Royal Perth Hospital, this fundamental focus touches everything we do and achieve. We are very proud of our excellence in care, and the team approach we use in delivering that quality care every day.”

Maha Rajagopal - Director of Nursing
