Why Adelaide nurses choose Vitalwear

• Made for 12-hour shifts. 210 GSM stretch fabric (72% polyester, 21% rayon, 7% spandex) that moves when you bend and lift, stays opaque and dries overnight.
• Five colours that suit most dress codes. Navy, black, burgundy, dark grey and pink.
• Mix and match. V-neck or round-neck tops with jogger, straight or flare pants (flare is women’s only). Any top and pants in the same colour and size make a $99 set, priced automatically in your cart. Sizes S to XL.
• $99 a set. Free delivery on orders over $99 and a free badge reel with every set. Afterpay available at checkout.

Where to buy scrubs in Adelaide

There aren’t many places in Adelaide to try scrubs on, which is why most nurses here buy online. We keep it simple:

• Delivery: we ship from Adelaide to every metro suburb, and to regional South Australia, including Whyalla, Port Augusta, Mount Gambier, the Riverland and the Barossa.
• Local pick-up by arrangement: live in Adelaide and want to skip the post? Email hello@vitalwear.com.au or message us on Instagram (@myvitalwear) and we’ll organise a time to collect.
• Not the right size? Exchanges are accepted within 14 days. See our size guide before you order.

Scrubs for Adelaide hospitals, aged care and clinics

Whether you work in a public or private hospital, an aged care home or a GP clinic, your workplace sets its own uniform rules, so check your dress code before you buy. On SA Health wards navy is the norm, and many wards have a casual Friday when fun print or any-colour scrubs are allowed. Most aged care providers supply a uniform top, and many let staff wear a full scrub set or their own navy or black pants with it. Joggers suit busy wards and aged care, and straight pants suit workplaces with traditional dress codes.

Scrubs for Adelaide nursing students

Starting placement through Flinders University, Adelaide University or TAFE SA? Your university sets the top, and you provide the rest. Flinders, for example, asks for navy or black bottoms with enclosed, non-slip shoes. Our navy and black straight pants ($59.99) suit most placement handbooks, and a spare $99 set gets you through a long block without washing every night. Check your own placement handbook first, because it overrides anything here.
