Pay rates for enrolled nurses are between $31 - $76 per hour if you are working casually. The Aged Care and Nurses Award factor in many different elements that attribute to each level.

Casual workers can receive bonuses, incentives and allowances which are great benefits of the role. The aged care industry is going through changes, with the aged care reform roadmap leading to a pay rise for the aged care sector in recent years, with more to come.

For our enrolled nurses, we generally require a minimum of 6 months Australian aged care experience for our metro and casual enrolled nurse pool. Get in touch today if you sit under this, as some of our clients accept newer grads.

Enrolled nurses are qualified healthcare professionals, and need to have completed a Diploma of Nursing before commencing work. This is generally a two year course completed at an educational institution, both of practical and theoretical assessments. 

Temporary/casual and contract work is available to all of our enrolled nurses. Casual work allows you to gap fill shifts, whether it is last minute cancellations or block bookings. Contract assignments are often full time (38 hour) week placements, ranging from 4 - 12 weeks in regional and remote areas of the country.

We have a Learning Management System (LMS) portal that allows for our nurses to educate and refresh their knowledge so they are ready for work. This is regularly updated to reflect legislation and is role specific, and is free of charge to use.

Through working on a short term or ad-hoc basis, you can:

  • Structure your work day/week to your schedule
  • Through our contract roles, you can explore areas of the country whilst getting paid for it, with free travel and accommodation included.
  • Set your own work/life balance
  • Receive a higher hourly rate than if you were a casual employee
