Cherokee Scrubs Australia — Which Collection Is Right for You?
Infectious stocks three Cherokee collections suited to Australian clinical environments. Here's how they compare:
|
Performance clinical | 4-way stretch | Certainty Antimicrobial The flagship performance collection. 360-degree 4-way stretch allows full range of motion for surgery, emergency, patient handling and active ward nursing. Certainty Antimicrobial treatment — integrated into the fabric, not a surface coating — manages odour-causing bacteria across long clinical shifts. Available in a broad colour range, sizes XXS–5XL. Best for: Emergency departments, surgical nurses, theatre-assist, intensive care, active wards, any role requiring maximum mobility. Shop Cherokee Infinity → |
Cherokee Workwear Professionals Hospital standard | Widest colour range | Cotton-blend comfort Australia's most-worn nursing scrub line — the standard across hospital wards, aged care, community health and allied health programs. A durable polyester-cotton-spandex blend with consistent colour matching across reorders. The widest colour range of any Cherokee collection, making it the go-to for hospital procurement programs and departments that need to colour-match across a full team. Best for: Hospital ward nursing, aged care, community health, allied health, uniform programs, teams needing consistent colour matching. Shop Workwear Professionals → |

Cherokee Workwear Originals Ultra Everyday clinical | 100% polyester | PROTX2® odour control A practical, no-fuss range with PROTX2® odour control technology across every garment. Four styles cover a women's V-neck top and drawstring cargo pant, plus a men's V-neck top and zip fly cargo pant. Eight colours are shared across the women's and men's styles, making it easy to build matching sets for mixed teams. Women's XXS–5XL, men's XS–5XL.

Cherokee Infinity — Performance Clinical Scrubs
Cherokee Infinity is built for the demands of high-intensity clinical work. The 360-degree stretch construction moves in every direction — critical for surgery, manual handling, patient repositioning and any role spent crouching, reaching and responding. The antimicrobial treatment works through the fabric, not on top of it, maintaining freshness regardless of wash count.
|
4-Way Stretch Construction The 95% polyester / 5% spandex blend stretches in every direction with full shape recovery after washing — no restriction at the shoulder, hip or knee. The fabric does not pill, bag or lose its clinical presentation after repeated industrial wash cycles. |
Certainty Antimicrobial Technology Built into the fabric structure — not a spray or topical finish. Certainty inhibits odour-causing bacterial growth on the fabric surface and is rated effective through repeated laundering. It does not replace PPE or clinical infection-control protocols, but makes a practical difference across a 12-hour shift in a high-contact environment. |
|
|
Clinical Use Cases Emergency departments, scrub nurses, theatre-assist, ICU, physiotherapy, high-movement allied health roles. The antimicrobial treatment makes it particularly suited to high-patient-contact environments where odour management matters across a full shift. |
Size Range & Colours XXS–5XL across tops and pants — one of the broadest size runs in Australian clinical scrubs. Available in a strong clinical colour range including navy, ceil blue, teal, hunter green and black. For the curated extended range, see plus size scrubs. |

Cherokee Workwear Professionals — Australia's Most-Worn Nursing Scrub
Cherokee Workwear Professionals is the workhorse of Australian hospital nursing — stocked in procurement programs, worn across wards from QLD to WA, and the first choice for teams that need colour consistency on every reorder. The soft polyester-cotton-spandex blend holds its shape and colour through heavy clinical washing, with light stretch for all-day comfort.
|
Colour Consistency for Hospital Programs The widest colour range of any Cherokee collection — and consistent colour matching on reorders. When you replace a garment six months later, the navy, ceil blue or teal matches the rest of the ward. Purchasing through the authorised Australian distributor is the only way to guarantee this — not a grey market import where dye lots shift between shipments. |
Hospital Program Suitability Widely accepted under Australian hospital uniform programs across QLD, NSW, VIC and SA. Colours including navy, ceil blue and hospital-mandated tones are held in local stock. For NSW Health scrubs, see the dedicated collection for policy-compliant colour guidance. Petite and tall inseam options available on select styles. |

Men's Styles The CK783A men's V-neck scrub top is a relaxed fit with a chest pocket and 2 lower patch pockets. The CK279A men's cargo scrub pant is a true men's fit with a zip fly, drawstring waistband and 6 pockets, including pen and instrument slots. Both come in XS–5XL and the same 9 colours. |
