Do nursing scrubs come in plus sizes in Australia?
Yes. Nursing scrubs at Infectious are available from XXS through to 5XL across most ranges from Dickies, Cherokee and Wink. Dickies EDS Signature includes petite and tall inseam length options for pants — the most inclusive size range available in Australia. Cherokee Infinity and Wink W123 are both available to 5XL in the full clinical colour palette. Browse our dedicated Plus Size Scrubs collection, or call 1300 661 475 for sizing assistance before ordering.
Can I get nursing scrubs embroidered with my name or clinic logo?
Yes — Infectious Clothing Company is an in-house embroidery specialist. We add names, role titles, hospital names and clinic logos to nursing scrub tops, pants and jackets from Cherokee, Dickies and Wink. All embroidery is completed at our Sunshine Coast facility — not outsourced — with a standard turnaround of 5–7 business days after artwork approval. Visit our Customise Your Scrubs page or call 1300 661 475 for a team order quote.
What is the most affordable nursing scrub brand without sacrificing quality?
Wink W123 offers the best combination of price, functionality and clinical durability in our range — it's the most affordable brand we stock that doesn't compromise on fabric quality or practical features. The standard W123 top includes 7 pockets and is built from a durable cotton-rich blend that holds up well through repeated clinical laundering. Dickies EDS Signature is similarly priced and a strong choice if you prefer a slightly more traditional fit. Both are considerably more affordable than Cherokee Infinity while still meeting the demands of a full clinical shift.

Yes — Infectious Clothing Company manages uniform programs for hospital wards, GP clinic groups, aged care operators and university nursing programs across Australia. Our Business Orders team provides consistent colour-matching, sizing support, bulk pricing and managed reorder programs.
