Working as a Nurse in Sydney.
Sydney is one of the world’s great cities and one of Australia’s strongest nursing markets. Sublime Nurses places Working Holiday Visa nurses and midwives across a range of public and private healthcare settings throughout the city.
Hospital settings across Sydney.
Sydney’s public transport system works well, which makes getting around much easier and gives nurses the opportunity to experience more than one facility. Sublime Nurses has strong relationships with public and private healthcare facilities across the north, south, and west of the city — from small hospitals and day surgeries through to large principal referral and teaching hospitals.
Living in Sydney — what to expect.
Sydney is an expensive city. Rent is the biggest expense and is the most common topic nurses raise when planning their move.
| Expense | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Shared accommodation (room) | Depending on suburb and size of property. |
| One-bedroom apartment | Depending on suburb and proximity to the city. |
| Groceries | Comparable to the UK. Fresh produce can be cheaper, especially at local markets. |
| Public transport | Sydney’s Opal card — equivalent of London’s Oyster card. A weekly cap keeps commuting costs predictable. |
| Eating out | A big part of Sydney culture. Affordable cafe lunches through to high-end dining — the range is enormous. |
