Theatre & Perioperative Nursing

Take Your Theatre Nursing Career Somewhere New

Scrub, scout, anaesthetics or recovery? Take your perioperative experience on the road with Vanguard Health.

We connect experienced theatre and perioperative nurses with travel nursing opportunities across hospitals and surgical services throughout Australia and build your clinical career.

Why Become a Travel Theatre Nurse?

  • Diverse Surgical Experience
  • Competitive Nursing Opportunities
  • See More of Australia
  • Specialist Recruitment Support

At Vanguard Health, we don’t just connect Mental Health Nurses with jobs, we help you explore Australia and build the lifestyle and career you've always dreamed of.

From quick adventures to long-term placements, we offer flexible rural and remote midwife roles that let you travel, discover new communities, and experience some of the country’s most beautiful regions.

With above-award pay, paid travel and accommodation, and a dedicated team supporting you every step of the way, you’re free to grow your career, make a real impact, and turn every placement into a fun and rewarding work-holiday experience.

Take Your Theatre Skills where they're needed most

Your perioperative experience is valuable, and it can open the door to opportunities well beyond your current hospital.

Vanguard Health recruits theatre nurses for placements across public and private healthcare environments, helping hospitals maintain surgical capacity while giving experienced nurses the opportunity to explore new destinations and broaden their clinical experience.

Spend your contract working alongside a new surgical team, then spend your days off discovering somewhere completely different.

Working with Vanguard has been the best career choice I have made in a long time. Frennie, Maisie and their team have been nothing but easy to work with, kind and genuinely caring about me and my agency journey. I can't wait to start my next contract with them soon

Am currently on contract and have the most amazing backup. Frennie and Maisie have both been a joy to work with. I get regular phone calls making sure I'm ok and I know I can ask them anything and with no hesitation the girls follow up on it. I am very happy that they are in my corner.
