Where abouts in VIC are you moving? Have you considered applying for a rural area? They can be an opportunity to gain more experience and can provide opportunities for further education. For example the one I am employed at requires you to do some aged care but also has an Acute Ward and Urgent care department and are desperate for staff. In terms of larger hospitals often casual banks are the best way to get a foot in the door. Good luck!

Hi, I'm just finishing my graduate program this week and it depends what state you are in, but I would advise applying for both. In Vic, you only get to select 4 public hospitals to apply for but you are unlimited with the amount of private hospitals you can apply for. After a year, if the system you got isn't for you, its early enough in your career to change. I missed out on a first year grad offer because of Vic system, where a computer assigns jobs. I later got a position in a rural program (which also rotates through a regional hospital) and it has been very rewarding. Good luck!
