To be considered for the 2023 Monash Health Graduate Program applicants must:
Please note that the Monash Health Graduate Program application process has been streamlined to support candidates to submit strong applications that give them the best chance of success. Before commencing your application, please read the Monash Health 2023 Graduate Program Digital Application Guidelines carefully and follow the instructions.
Job advertisements for all 2023 Graduate Program positions open Monday 6 June 2022 on the Monash Health Mercury website. For more information about the Graduate job advertisements, please refer to the sections below.
To ensure your Monash Health Graduate Program application is submitted correctly, please complete the following steps in order:
Your application will not be considered unless all five steps are completed and all documents submitted as part of your application in Mercury eRecruit. Please note that documents do not need to be certified. Any scanned documentation submitted with your application must be a true and exact copy of the original.
Applicants may apply to multiple streams. If your multiple stream selection includes the Monash Children’s Hospital Stream, submit your application to both the Monash Children’s Hospital Stream job advertisement and the General Nursing job advertisement. Please answer the Paediatric and Neonatal Stream short answer question only and lodge the same application to both adverts.
Each stream option that you apply for will take up a spot in your PMCV preference list. For example, if you wish to apply for both the General Nursing Summer and General Nursing Autumn streams, these will take up two of the four spots in your PMCV preference list.
Please ensure you have clearly indicated the stream/s you are applying for in your 2023 Monash Health Graduate Program Digital Application Form.
In the Clinical Referee section of the Application Form, please provide details of two (2) primary references, from your most recent clinical placements if possible.
We also strongly encourage you to provide details of two (2) alternative references that we can contact if your primary referees are unavailable. Ideally, referees should be someone who has worked directly with you in the clinical setting (i.e. Clinical Nurse/Midwifery Educator/ Facilitator, preceptor or senior nurse/midwife) and should be aware that you are using them as a referee for your Graduate Program application. Please ensure that you have the correct email address for each referee.
Applicants who have worked as Registered Undergraduate Student of Nursing or Midwifery (RUSON/RUSOM) may also nominate clinical supervisors (i.e. Unit Managers, Associate Unit Managers) from their RUSON/RUSOM employment as one of their referees.
Applicants may also choose to submit the names of non-clinical referees (i.e. retail or food service job supervisor) if they are unable to obtain a second reference from a clinical placement or RUSON/RUSOM employment. However, due to the clinical nature of the reference questions, non-clinical referees should only be used as a last option.
We appreciate that due to placement disruptions caused by COVID-19, some candidates may have difficulty nominating a third or fourth referee prior to application closing dates. Those candidates should record their two primary references on their Monash Health Digital Application Form and can submit two alternative clinical referees later in the recruitment process via email to graduaterecruitment@monashhealth.org if they become available.
Please note that the Mental Health Nursing Stream has a separate application process from the other Graduate Program streams. For more information, please refer to the Mental Health Nursing 2023 Graduate Program Application Guidelines.
