Registered nurse jobs in the Gold Coast

Registered nurses in the aged care industry are responsible for providing high quality care to residents on a physical, emotional and holistic level. A fantastic way to get into the sector and the first clinical step is to qualify as an Assistant in nursing/personal care worker, and through upskilling you can step into the role of a registered nurse.

We have longstanding relationships with over 400 aged care homes across Australia, in metro, regional, rural and remote areas of the country.

As well as the Gold Coast, we have registered nurse positions across Queensland in:

• Brisbane
• Bribie Island
• Bundaberg
• Cairns
• Darling Downs
• Far North QLD
• Sunshine Coast
• Toowoomba
• Townsville
• Wide Bay

There are a lot of variances when it comes to pay rates, as aged care casual rates depend on your position, experience level and shift times that you work. The average registered nurse casual pay rates are in-between $50 - $120 per hour

Allowances, incentives and bonuses are applicable for certain contract placements and locations. Reforms in aged care have led to pay rises for aged care workers in recent years, with more developments to come.

As a rule of thumb, you need 1 year of Australian aged care experience to work on our casual registered nurse pool. If you have under this, get in contact as we do have opportunity for new/recent graduates to work in a few of our homes

For registered nurses, you would need a Bachelor of Nursing which is a three year university degree. This is made up of theoretical and practical assessments. If you are a qualified overseas nurse, you can get your qualification converted in line with AHPRA regulations, and obtain a sponsorship if you meet the eligibility requirements.

We are recruiting registered nurses for temporary/casual and contract assignments. Casual work, or shift filling, is done on an ad-hoc or block booking basis. Contract roles range from 4 weeks - 3 months in rural, regional and remote areas of the country.
