What can I expect from an aged care contract role?

Regional and remote nurse roles are a type of casual work,
undertaken as block bookings. They vary in length, usually from 4 - 12 weeks

With your travel and accommodation expenses covered,
you can travel the country whilst getting paid!

We offer travel nursing work across the country. Depending on the homes needs,
you may be able to travel with your friend, family or partner if they work in aged care too.

Pay rates are under the casual award and are dependent on experience.
You may be eligible for bonuses, incentives and referral schemes too!
