Mudgee ED is recruiting Registered Nurses who want pace, variety and the opportunity to build serious emergency nursing experience in a regional hospital with direct medical support around the clock.

This is a busy ED. With around 16,800 emergency presentations in 2025, Mudgee gives you the activity and patient mix to keep sharpening your clinical judgement. You will care for patients across a broad range of presentations and acuity levels, while working within a hospital where teams collaborate closely and your contribution matters.

One of Mudgee ED’s biggest drawcards is the level of clinical support around you. Doctors are onsite 24/7, giving you direct medical backup during complex presentations and busy shifts. For nurses considering a move from a metropolitan setting, this is an important professional advantage: you can expand your regional emergency capability with the medical team right there when you need them.

A department where teaching is part of the culture

Mudgee ED regularly welcomes nursing students and new team members. Teaching, orientation and support are not occasional extras — they are part of the rhythm of the department.

The team enjoys sharing knowledge, building confidence and helping new people find their feet. For experienced ED nurses, that creates the opportunity to contribute as a clinician and mentor. For nurses developing their emergency capability, it means joining a workplace where questions are welcomed and learning is actively encouraged.

Career variety without losing your ED foundation

Mudgee Health Service offers the advantages of a connected regional hospital. You work closely with people across the service and gain a clear understanding of how emergency care links with the wider patient journey.

Where service needs and individual interests align, there may also be opportunities to broaden your experience across areas such as theatres, maternity, inpatient care and ambulatory care. This gives you the flexibility to keep developing your clinical range while maintaining ED as your professional base.

Mudgee also has a contemporary outlook and is open to new ways of working. The service has been involved in initiatives including an onsite paramedic pilot, reflecting a willingness to test ideas, learn from them and improve care.

A lifestyle people travel for

Mudgee is one of NSW’s most recognised regional lifestyle destinations, known for its wineries, restaurants, cafes, countryside and events. It is the kind of place people normally visit for a weekend — but here, you can build your career and enjoy the lifestyle at your own pace.

With a median house price around $740,000, Mudgee offers a regional lifestyle worth moving for — without stepping away from serious ED experience.

There is plenty happening outside work: food and wine, cycling, rodeo, community sport, family activities, major sporting events at Glen Willow Regional Sports Stadium and an active local events calendar.

Whether you are making a tree change, moving with family, joining a partner already working locally or looking for a regional town with energy and personality, Mudgee offers more than a job.

Relocation support may also be available through the NSW Government’s Welcome Experience, a free service helping eligible essential workers and their families settle into regional NSW, including support with housing, childcare, partner employment and local connections.

If you want real ED pace, onsite medical support around the clock, a team that teaches and a lifestyle worth the move, Mudgee ED is ready to welcome you.
