Sitting in the Rural Health West (RHW) boardroom, Georgie Nash’s infectiously bubbly personality shines through with an instantly contagious smile.
The Senior GP Workforce Consultant’s eagerness to help doctors and their families find their way to Australia is undeniable. Equally important is making them feel at home the moment they touch down.
For Georgie this isn’t just a job, it’s a passion.

She was just a child when she arrived in Australia with her family, welcomed by white sandy beaches and hot summer nights.
“I can appreciate what a massive life decision that can be,” she said.
“Moving yourself, moving your family, not knowing anyone. I understand how much that would personally mean to someone.”
Since her life with RHW began in 2011, she has spent 15 years pouring her deep empathy and understanding into her work.
Georgie had lived a life of marketing and was looking for a new challenge in a meaningful sector.
While she had originally applied for the communications team, her bright and warm nature was too magnetic to pass on.
Luckily for us, her resume landed on the desk of the Workforce Solutions team.
“Recruitment wasn’t something that I had ever considered,” she said.
Georgie said RHW offered her the space and flexibility when she celebrated personal milestones.

She was welcomed back with open arms following maternity leave and was given the opportunity to work part-time to juggle life.
“Since I’ve been here, I have worked full time, part time, hybrid – you name it, I’ve worked it,” she said.
Now in 2026, Georgie calls RHW her “home” away from home.
Day in, day out, Georgie does so much more than help GPs and their families; she also supports her colleagues and makes everyone in the office feel at home.
Not only is she loved here; she has also built relationships with doctors she has helped place into positions across rural WA.
As the first point of contact for GPs, Georgie’s positive and engaging personality allows them to immediately feel comfortable and settled.
She has made such an impact on them that she has earned the status of “local celebrity” at RHW and external events.
“GPs recognise me everywhere,” Georgie said.
“I will have a GP seek me out just to say hello, shake my hand, give me a hug – they will even ask my colleagues how I’m going.”
“It’s fun to think that I came in wanting a marketing role and ended up finding my passion in recruitment. I love what I do through and through. I feel so lucky to have a job like this.”

When opportunities arose to represent RHW at the Doctors Job Fair in London and Ireland – in partnership with the Aboriginal Health Council of Western Australia and alongside Bega Garnbirringu Health Service, Puntukurnu Aboriginal Medical Service and Wirraka Maya Health Service Aboriginal Corporation – Georgie was the perfect choice to accompany Beth McEwan, Manager – Workforce Solutions.
Georgie was able to flex her marketing background through amazing social media posts where she shared the whole experience as well as the number of GPs she was able to touch base with at the Expos (stay tuned for upcoming stories of GPs coming to WA).
“Despite being in the job for 15 years, Rural Health West manages to keep me on my toes,” she said.
“No two days are the same.”
2011 may have been the year The Queen visited Perth, but someone who would become RHW royalty entered our office that year as well.
