Enrolled nurses are healthcare professionals who are trained in providing direct patient/resident care across a host of medical settings. Enrolled nurse and registered nurses are different roles, with individual duties and responsibilities.

Enrolled nurses in aged care generally enter the industry either through an entry level role such as an Assistant in nursing/personal care worker and then undergoing further education and training, or by completing the relevant qualification and starting in this role.

Our consultants have built and nurtured relationships all across the country. You can choose to work in rural, regional, remote and metro locations.

There are various pay points that are dependent on many factors, that are set out in the Aged Care and Nurses Award. The average casual enrolled nurse can expect to earn between $31 - $76 per hour

For short term contracts across the country, we offer bonuses, incentives and allowances depending on the placement. The aged care industry is constantly changing, with the aged care reform roadmap set out until 2025 incorporating a pay rise for the aged care sector with more developments to come.

For our enrolled nurses, we generally require a minimum of six months Australian aged care experience to join our casual nursing pool. Get in touch if your aged care career hasn't reached this yet, as some of our clients accept newer grads.

Enrolled nurses are required to have completed a two year Diploma of Nursing course. This allows you to learn and practice the skills you need to succeed in this industry.

You can choose to work as an enrolled nurse on a temporary/casual and/or contract basis. Casual work allows you to pick up last minute shifts to cover annual or sick leave, and you can block book if you wish. Contract assignments are often full time placements starting from 4 weeks in rural areas of Australia.

We have a Learning Management System (LMS) that allows for our nurses to refresh their knowledge prior to working with us. This contains relevant training to your job role as well as legislations that affect the industry that you are working in.

Some of the benefits you can experience as a casual employee are:

  • Scheduling your own work week
  • Experience areas of Australia you may never have travelled too before
  • Stipulate what a work/life balance looks like to you
  • Take advantage of casual loading pay rates
