Christmas Scrub Tops Australia: When to Wear Them, Where to Buy Them & Why They Sell Out Early

It’s (Almost) the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

From November 1, hospitals, clinics and salons across Australia light up with festive prints and good cheer. For nurses, vets, doctors and beauty professionals, Christmas scrub season is more than just a dress code: it’s a way to lift spirits, spark smiles and bring a little Christmas joy to every shift.

But there’s one catch: festive scrubs can only be worn between November 1 and Christmas Day, meaning you’ll want yours ready long before December arrives.

Why Christmas Scrubs Sell Out So Fast

Each year, the hunt for Christmas scrub tops begins earlier and for good reason. Most workplaces allow just an eight-week window to wear them, and stock is limited. Many brands sell out by early November.

At Hero Scrubs, we’re thrilled to offer our first-ever Christmas collection in our signature flattering cut, thoughtfully crafted to feel polished, breathable and comfortable during long summer shifts.

Made in limited quantities, these designs are as exclusive as they are joyful - and once a print is gone, it won’t be restocked.

This Year’s Signature Prints

🎀 Bow Ho Ho
Soft blush pink gingham with playful red bows. Feminine, flattering and just the right amount of festive.

🍭 Festive Treats
Bright, joyful and sweetly nostalgic. Perfect for paediatric wards, maternity, GPs or anyone who wants to bring smiles to their shift.

Both prints are crafted from 100% breathable cotton, designed for the Australian summer, and cut in the same timeless silhouette loved across our core collection.

When Can You Wear Christmas Scrubs in Australia?

Most healthcare and beauty workplaces allow Christmas-themed uniforms from:
📅 1 November to 25 December

So if you want to make the most of them, the time to shop is now.

You’ll get nearly two full months of wear - which makes the cost-per-wear even better value (and your shifts a lot more fun).

How to Style Them

• Pair with neutral pants for a polished look.

• Add a festive badge reel or minimal Christmas earrings.

• Coordinate with your team - it’s common for departments to match prints for photos or ward Christmas parties.

And if you can’t decide between the two prints? Bundle and save.
