Graduate nurses Larah Price (RN), Joan Kihiu (RN) and AnnMaree Celisano (EN) are working at Glengarry in specialties such as theatre, surgical and rehabilitation. Graduate nurse Amy Broomhall (RN) is working at Attadale in rehabilitation.

Graduate coordinator Sarah Hinchliffe said the graduates were supported by clinicians eager to share their knowledge and skills within each ward/department.

Ramsay Health Care employed the new graduates as part of a two-year fellowship program, which guarantees a permanent contract.
