Careers

A career in health or aged care will be the best working days of your life and a time that will stay with you forever.

When you are rising to the challenge of delivering exceptional and compassionate care in a fast-paced environment, there is no better feeling than knowing your Mercy colleagues have your back.

Staff going out of their way to help and support each other is something you will see our nurses, midwives, doctors, community workers, allied health professionals and aged care staff do every day across the whole of Mercy Health. Join us.

International candidates

Mercy Health welcomes qualified people from different countries, cultures and backgrounds. We believe this makes for a richer working environment and enables us to meet the specific needs of the diverse cultures that we care for in our hospitals and aged care homes.

We are currently working with Ranstad to help us recruit qualified midwives, mental health nurses and aged care nurses from Canada, Hong Kong, Ireland, New Zealand, Singapore, the United Kingdom and the United States of America. To apply and learn more about what we offer, please click here.
