You’ll perform your usual clinical duties while working in regional, rural or remote locations, either on a short to long term contract (typically four weeks to three months) or on an ad-hoc basis if you live within commuting distance to the home.
We have regional nursing opportunities across the country, in six different states. View a list of our job vacancies here or get in contact for a full rundown of the areas we work in.
