At Greencross Ashburton, we’re offering exactly that — great nursing, a great team, and a clinic that truly values quality care, collaboration, and balance.
Why Ashburton?
Ashburton sits just outside Melbourne’s inner city, offering the best of both worlds. Think leafy streets, local parks and walking trails, and plenty of cafés for your pre‑ or post‑shift coffee.
With easy public transport and great lunch spots nearby, it’s a relaxed, convenient place to work, with a genuine community feel.

- There’s always someone to lean on, learn from, or have a laugh with
We’re proud of our high standards of patient and client care, with the team going above and beyond every day.
Our nurses are at the heart of what we do — calm under pressure, highly organised, and supportive of one another (just like Nurse Caillin, who the team says they’d clone in a heartbeat!).
