Agency Registered Nurses Coburg — Aged Care RN Cover · Day, Night & Weekend

Coburg aged care homes book registered nurses through Aspire when permanent rosters can't stretch — nights, weekends, public holidays and short-notice sick calls.

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 18 residential aged care homes in the City of Merri-bek, at least 54 Registered Nurse shifts are needed every day just to keep an RN on site around the clock — and around 1,162 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 Merri-bek, about 8 km from the Melbourne CBD, has 18 government-approved residential aged care homes with around 1,584 operational beds, including 2 in Coburg 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.
