The latest figures show females account for 88.7% of Registered Nurses, 89.5% of Enrolled Nurses, and 92% of Clinical Nurses.

A further 72% of catering attendants and 76% of physiotherapists are women.

In the maternity ward, 100% of Registered Midwives and 91% of Clinical Midwives are female as well.

Women also largely feature in management roles, accounting for 92% of Nurse Unit Managers and 80% of the Executive Team.

Greenslopes Private Hospital’s new female CEO, Christine Went, said women play a vital role in Australia’s ever-changing health care industry.

“I’m proud to be leading a hospital filled with strong women - and men for that matter - of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities.”

“Out of well over 2,000 employees, four-fifths of them happen to be female,” Ms Went said.
