New Graduate Nurse Programme

The Graduate Nurse Programme continues to be a success. The programme is aimed at nurses who are newly qualified or less than 2 years qualified and wish to gain experience in an acute, fast-paced clinical environment.  

Members of our nursing team offer great support as they mentor the new graduates to gain competency in many clinical skills.

Nurses who successfully complete the 1-year programme, continue their employment in Mater Private Network and as staff nurses, they play an integral role in our nursing team as they continue to build on their nursing knowledge and expertise.
