I work in Brisbane at the Princess Alexandra Hospital. Which is one of the main public hospitals, the other being the Royal Brisbane. I would recommend it as an excellent place to work, the building is only 7 years old and they place a great deal of emphasis on staff training and welfare.

Having said that, I'm still coming home, Oz just isn't the UK!

I worked at Westmead hospital in Sydney Australia for 3 years. I absoutely loved nursing there. The people are wonderful and friendly and make you feel right at home from the very beginning. WEstmead is a 750 bed public hospital. The public hospitals in Australia tend to be better than the private. They have a large network of hospitals called Western Sydney Area HEalthcare and there are several smaller hospitals but Westmead is in a subarb just out of Sydney and it's a wonderful area.
