Graduate nurses and midwives choose St John of God Health Care

27 Feb 2025

With more than 85% of our graduates recommending the program, we continue to be a preferred choice for those starting their health care careers.

With nearly 150 graduate nurses and midwives joining the first of two 2025 intakes, Chief People Officer Carla Bonev says the program is designed to offer more than just a strong start — it is about building a meaningful and supported career.

“At St John of God Health Care, you are not just a number, you are part of a family. Our graduates belong to a team that supports them and fosters strong connections.”

Our Pathways to Practice graduate program ensures graduates transition into clinical practice with confidence. From a dedicated preceptor and learning and development support to pathways into specialty programs and leadership training, St John of God Health Care invests in every graduate’s future.

“Our graduates consistently tell us that feeling welcomed and supported from day one has been one of the most memorable aspects of their journey with us,” Carla said.

Beyond training and career development, St John of God Health Care offers a balanced approach to supporting physical and emotional wellbeing with:

• flexible shifts and generous leave
• employee assistance programs and small group support sessions
• opportunities for career progression, scholarships and national caregiver recognition.

Guided by our Values, we offer Hospitality, Compassion, Respect, Justice and Excellence to those in our care and those who choose to work with us.

For WA graduates nurses and midwives seeking a mid-year 2025 or February 2026 start, applications open on 24 February 2025.

In Victoria, applications for a mid-year 2025 intake open 7 March 2025, with applications for a February 2026 start to take place later in the year.
