Nursing Salaries in Australia
Australia offers some of the highest pay when it comes to nursing jobs, so you’re well equipped to be rewarded for your hard work and save up for your travels whilst nursing in Australia.
Depending on what kind of nurse you are the pay can vary. As a general nurse in a specialty area you will receive the same pay as a general nurse without a specialty, but this changes if you have a post-graduate qualification in a specialist discipline. For example, Emergency nurses only receive higher pay if you hold further qualifications in Emergency Nursing.
Midwives are paid differently, however midwives will always be put on a contract as three month’s full time supervision must be carried out upon starting a midwife job in Australia before full registration is given.
