Registered Nurses (RN) cover for Altona North aged care homes

Looking for an agency RN in Altona North? We place aged-care-experienced registered nurses into facilities across Altona North and the wider City of Hobsons Bay, day or night.

Residential aged care homes must have a Registered Nurse on site 24 hours a day, and RN care minutes are a funded, reported target. When an RN calls in sick or a roster gap opens, an experienced agency RN keeps the facility compliant and residents safe.

With 9 residential aged care homes in the City of Hobsons Bay, at least 27 Registered Nurse shifts are needed every day just to keep an RN on site around the clock — and around 630 hours of RN care a day to meet the 44-minute RN target.

Provide clinical leadership and nursing care within residential aged care settings, including assessments, care planning, medication management and complex resident care. Aspire provides RNs with proven aged care experience who understand the clinical responsibilities and person-centred approach required to support older Australians.

The City of Hobsons Bay, about 10 km from the Melbourne CBD, has 9 government-approved residential aged care homes with around 859 operational beds, including 3 in Altona North itself. Most requests we see from this part of Melbourne are night shifts, weekend rosters and same-day sick-leave cover — the shifts that are hardest to fill with permanent staff alone.
