GRADUATE REGISTERED NURSES / MIDWIVES - APPLICATIONS & INTERVIEWS
Why Choose Central Gippsland Health?
At Central Gippsland Health we take pride in providing a supportive and personalised graduate experience. Our smaller graduate cohort allows us to work closely with each graduate, ensuring you feel supported as you transition from student to registered nurse or midwife.
Education and clinical support are a strong focus of our program. Graduates have regular access to Clinical Support Nurses, Educators and Graduate Coordinators, providing guidance, bedside teaching and support throughout the year. Structured study days, ward-based education and hands-on clinical learning opportunities are designed to strengthen clinical knowledge and help graduates build confidence in their practice. Graduates at CGH become valued members of their teams and are supported to develop strong clinical skills while building meaningful professional relationships within a multidisciplinary healthcare environment.
Applications & Recruitment Process
At CGH we believe our personalised approach to supporting graduates and staff is what sets us apart. Each year we welcome one cohort of Graduate Registered Nurses and Graduate Registered Midwives who commence their program in February.
The 2027 Graduate Nurse and Midwifery Program recruitment follows the Postgraduate Medical Council of Victoria (PMCV) Computer Match process.
The computer match process involves two parts:
• Eligible students must first register with PMCV and submit their list of hospital preferences.
• Applicants must then submit an application directly to each hospital included in their preference list.
Further information regarding the PMCV Computer Match process, including key dates and application requirements, can be found via the link below.
