Why Become an Agency Nurse

1. Flexibility

By becoming an Agency Nurse, you have the flexibility to pick the days you want to work - allowing you to prioritise a young family, work Agency shifts around your primary workplace, travel and accommodate your schedule.

Agency Nurses organise their shifts around school holidays, day-care schedules, and the other commitments in their lives. If you are undertaking further study and education, you can schedule your shifts around class timetables.

The flexibility of Agency work also includes picking the timings of shifts that suit you and locations that are most convenient for you.

Shifts can be booked in advance or close to the time. Our online rostering system lets you update your availabilities, show interest in shifts, and view your roster, all on your phone or computer, while on the go.

2. Experience

Agency Nursing is a fantastic way to gain broad and diverse experience and develop your CV.

Planning to apply for a management job in the city and still don't have enough experience? Rural nursing gives you the experience of a lifetime! Experience a new culture and lifestyle all while gaining new specialty skills before coming back to apply for that dream management position on your return.

Work in multiple departments and Hospitals with exposure to new technologies, equipment, and processes has helped improved the resume and competency of many of our Nurses, giving them the edge in their next job interview. By working as an Agency Nurse, you can work at the busiest Hospital in the state one day, and the smallest the next, all based on the skills and experience you seek to develop.
