Can I work as a Registered Nurse in Australia without AHPRA registration?

Angle Down Icon

No. You cannot work as a Registered Nurse in Australia without current AHPRA registration.

Do I need AHPRA registration to apply?

Angle Down Icon

We can begin the process while you complete your AHPRA application. Many employers are flexible and support your transition.

Do I need AHPRA registration to register with HealthX?

Angle Down Icon

Yes. All nurses we place must hold current AHPRA registration. If you're in the process of renewing or have recently registered, get in touch anyway and we'll let you know where you stand.

How quickly can I be placed into a role?

If you're available now and have current AHPRA registration, we can often have you speaking to a client within days of registering. The faster you can get us your details, the faster we can move.

I'm an ED nurse - are there roles available right now?

Angle Down Icon

ED nurses are in high demand across Queensland, particularly in regional and remote areas. Register your interest and one of our recruiters will call you the same day to discuss what's currently available.

Is there a fee to use HealthX’s services?

Angle Down Icon

No — we are a nurse recruitment agency. There is no cost to you.

What's the difference between a short-term and ongoing contract?

Short-term contracts typically run 4 to 12 weeks and suit nurses wanting flexibility between roles. Ongoing contracts are open-ended and suit nurses looking for stability without committing to a permanent position. We'll match you to whichever works best for your situation.

HealthX places registered nurses into ED, Mental Health and MPS contracts across Brisbane, regional centres and remote Queensland. We have both short-term and ongoing contracts available, with new roles coming through regularly.

Many of our regional and remote QLD contracts include accommodation and travel support. This varies by role and location and will always be discussed with you upfront before you commit to anything.
