8000 Nurses

The 8000th new nurse since 1999 has begun work in the Victorian public health system, a product of Australia’s most successful nurse recruitment and retention campaign and Labor's commitment to investing in services and people.

8061 extra nurses have joined the health system since 1999 (a 39 per cent increase), and nurse registration figures were up by 15.7 per cent (an increase of 12,850 from 69,794 in 1999 to 82,644 this year), compared to an increase of 10.8 per cent in NSW for the same period.

Sustained recruiting and training of nurses has backed up the Brumby Government’s record funding of the health system and $4.1 billion health infrastructure program, the largest in Victoria’s history.

The recruitment of these extra 8000-plus nurses has enabled our hospitals to treat more than 1.3 million people each year – 300,000 more than in 1999.

Labor currently spends over $40 million per year to recruit and retain health professionals.

Reaching this important milestone shows this Government’s initiatives continue to make Victoria the place to be for nurses, they are getting nurses back to the profession and promoting nursing as a desirable career path to young people.

Public hospitals, mental health agencies and public aged care services now employ 29,215 nurses – 18,990 of them working in metropolitan hospitals and agencies.
