Returning to nursing or midwifery may be a daunting prospect for some. However, WA Health has streamlined the process by centrally coordinating and managing courses for nurses and midwives.

You can get back into the nursing and midwifery workforce if:

Courses are generally short in duration, free to eligible applicants who commit to working in the public health care system and a grant for financial assistance is also available (conditions apply).

You may also be eligible for a cash bonus of up to $6000 via the Federal Government’s incentive “Bringing Nurses Back to the Workforce”.
