Dickies Scrubs Australia

Infectious Clothing Company is Australia's authorised supplier of Dickies medical scrubs — trusted by nurses, doctors, vets, dental teams, allied health professionals and aged care workers nationwide. As the official Australian distributor since 2001, we guarantee genuine Dickies products, consistent colour matching across reorders, and the expert support your team needs to build a uniform program that holds up shift after shift.

Dickies EDS Signature — The Classic Cotton-Rich Choice

The EDS Signature (Every Day Scrubs) is Dickies' signature cotton-rich range — and for good reason. The 55% cotton / 45% polyester poplin twill fabric is breathable, soft on skin and gets softer with every wash, making it the range most often chosen by nurses who spend 10–12 hours on their feet. The classic relaxed fit provides genuine room to move without looking shapeless, and the double-needle stitching at all stress points — including pockets — means these scrubs outlast cheaper alternatives significantly.

EDS Signature tops include a chest pocket, pen loops and scissor compartments as standard. Pants feature multiple pocket configurations including deep cargo pockets, front angled pockets and interior knit pockets that keep smaller items secure without bulging. A natural-rise elastic waistband with a drawstring option provides comfort throughout long shifts. Available in the full clinical colour range including Navy, Black, Ceil Blue, Teal, Hunter Green, Eggplant, Wine, Pewter, Royal, Charcoal and White — making it the most colour-consistent range for hospital and clinic uniform programs.

EDS Signature is available in sizes XXS through 5XL and in petite, regular and tall inseam lengths for pants — making it one of the most inclusive ranges in the Dickies catalogue. Browse the full EDS Signature collection to explore all tops, pants and colour options.

Dickies Balance — Contemporary Fit with Stretch Comfort

Balance represents Dickies' move into performance workwear. The polyester/rayon/spandex blend delivers a 2-way stretch that moves with your body, drapes without wrinkling and resists fading through repeated clinical wash cycles. The silhouette is noticeably more contemporary than EDS — fitted through the torso and hip without being restrictive, with a mid-rise on pants that sits cleanly under clinical tunics and lab coats.

Balance tops feature bungee loops, zipper-close pockets and phone storage in addition to standard pen and ID loops. The fabric's wrinkle-resistance is a genuine practical advantage — Balance scrubs can go from washer to wear with no ironing required, a meaningful time-saving for healthcare workers doing their own laundry between shifts. Moisture-wicking properties help manage temperature during demanding shifts in warm clinical environments.

Balance is especially popular with nurses in acute care, emergency and surgical settings where a slim profile reduces the risk of snagging, and with allied health practitioners who want a scrub that looks polished enough to double as client-facing attire. Sized XXS–3XL in the core clinical colour palette. Browse the full Balance collection for current styles and colour availability.

Comparing the EDS Signature and Balance Ranges

The two Dickies ranges serve different needs — both are built to Dickies' durability standard, but the right choice depends on your role, your hospital's dress code and your personal preference for fit. The table below covers the key differences:

If you're ordering for a full department or need consistent colour matching across a large team, EDS Signature is the safer choice — the broader size range and wider colour palette make it easier to outfit every team member uniformly. If you're an individual buyer prioritising a professional silhouette and stretch comfort, Balance is worth the slight size-range trade-off.

Available Colours for Dickies Scrubs in Australia

Dickies scrubs at Infectious are stocked in the full clinical colour palette used across Australian hospital and clinic uniform systems. Colour consistency is one of the strongest reasons healthcare groups choose Dickies — the same Navy or Ceil Blue looks identical across reorders and across the EDS Signature and Balance ranges, making it straightforward to maintain a cohesive team uniform over time.

Core colours available include: Navy, Black, Caribbean, Ceil Blue, Teal, Hunter (Green), Eggplant, Wine, Raspberry, Pewter, Royal, Charcoal and White. Not all colours are available in every style — check individual product pages for current stock. For colour-specific guidance for your state's hospital system (for example, NSW Health's standardised colour palette), contact our team directly and we can advise on compliant options.

Printed Dickies scrub tops in seasonal patterns and holiday designs are also available through our Printed Scrub Tops collection — popular with paediatric nurses, vet teams and allied health professionals who want to add personality to their uniform while maintaining a professional standard.

Dickies Scrubs Sizing: Do They Run True to Size?

Dickies medical scrubs generally run true to size in both the EDS Signature and Balance ranges, but the two ranges fit differently enough that it's worth understanding the distinction before ordering. EDS Signature uses a classic relaxed fit — if you're between sizes and prefer a roomier feel, stay at your regular size; if you prefer a neater look, consider sizing down. Balance uses a contemporary streamlined fit and runs slightly smaller through the torso — if you're between sizes in Balance, size up.

Both ranges offer separate women's and men's cuts, so check the correct size guide for your cut. Dickies women's scrubs are available in Classic Fit and Modern Classic Fit options within EDS, with Contemporary Fit in Balance. Men's scrubs are available in Classic Fit and Contemporary Fit across both ranges. Detailed measurement guides for both women's and men's Dickies cuts are available in our Women's Dickies Size Guide and Men's Dickies Size Guide.

For plus-size healthcare professionals, EDS Signature's XXS–5XL range with petite and tall length options makes it the most inclusive Dickies collection. Browse our dedicated Plus Size Scrubs collection to filter specifically for larger-size Dickies styles alongside plus-size options from Cherokee and Wink.

Team and Clinic Orders: Dickies Scrubs for Australian Healthcare Groups

Dickies is one of the most popular brand choices for hospital departments, GP clinic groups, dental practices and aged care operators ordering uniform programs — and for good reason. The consistent colour palette, reliable reorder sizing and durable fabrics make it straightforward to outfit teams of 10 to 1,000 with confidence that every garment matches and holds up to institutional laundering.

Infectious Clothing Company manages uniform programs for healthcare groups across Australia from our Sunshine Coast warehouse. As the authorised Dickies supplier, we can source the full catalogue including styles not in our standard online range. Our in-house embroidery service adds clinic names, individual names, role titles and logos directly to Dickies garments — with a typical turnaround of 5–7 business days on embroidered orders.

For groups ordering 12 or more items, our Business Orders team provides dedicated account management, colour-matching samples, consistent invoicing for accounts payable, and multi-site delivery options. Contact us at 1300 661 475 (option 2) or through the contact page to discuss your clinic's requirements.
