Short term contracts

Short Term Contracts (STC) ensure our partner facilities have the staff they need at all times. HealthX STC candidates are highly experienced and reliable health care workers that work contracts ranging from a few weeks through to several months.

Reach out to us via email STC@healthx.com.au and our friendly recruitment team will be in touch.

Under a DoH contract, you will need to be very flexible as you will be required to rotate to different health care facilities during the contract time. Your travel costs between the location and accommodation during the contract will be organised and paid for by HealthX. The minimum contract length is 12 weeks.

This is a Short Term Contract where you will be working under the Department of Health travel nurse/carer arrangement. In addition to an attractive casual pay rate and penalties, you will also get a daily allowance of $127/day. Your role is to provide nursing support to various aged care facilities. This is a great opportunity to travel around Australia at no cost to you, as well as meet new and exciting people at different facilities and locations. Once you are on the contract, your work hours are full time hours. HealthX will organise and pay for your accommodation while on this contract, as well as organise and pay for your transport when you rotate from one location/facility to another.

For most roles, being able to drive would be an advantage, but is not essential. However, some job placements require you to have a current unrestricted driver’s license that allows you to drive in Australia.

Accommodation can vary depending on the location and facility. It can be on the facility grounds, or in a hotel/ motel/apartment style property close to the facility. Where possible, we source accommodation with laundry and kitchen facilities, which are sometimes shared.

Upon completion of the contract, you will have the option to continue the contract at your current placement. If you are open to another contract option or location, we can help you with that too.

Contract length ranges from 4 weeks to 6 months or longer, with the minimum contract length being 4 weeks. Some contracts can be flexible to work with your availability.

Job locations will vary based on the facility requirements and your location preference at the time you are applying for the role.

Pay rates are based on your qualifications and total years of experience. Different facilities and states/territories may have different pay levels. Pay rates will be presented to you and discussed with the recruiter once a suitable role has been identified.

All travel & accommodation is organised and paid for by HealthX, as well as a generous hourly pay rate with penalties and superannuation.
