Registered Nurse In Charge (RN IC) cover for East Melbourne aged care homes

Looking for an agency RN IC in East Melbourne? We place aged-care-experienced registered nurse in charge into facilities across East Melbourne and the wider City of Melbourne, day or night.

A Registered Nurse In Charge leads the shift — allocating staff, responding to clinical deterioration, managing escalations and handing over safely. Facilities need someone who can take charge from the first hour, not just fill a gap.

Each of the 6 residential aged care homes in the City of Melbourne needs a senior nurse leading every shift — that's 18 shift-lead positions a day across the council.

Provide shift leadership, clinical oversight and support to ensure safe and effective care delivery within aged care facilities. Our experienced Nurse In Charge professionals help coordinate teams, respond to clinical needs and provide confidence during every shift.

The City of Melbourne, about 2 km from the Melbourne CBD, has 6 government-approved residential aged care homes with around 694 operational beds, including 1 in East Melbourne itself. Homes in the area lean on agency cover for the same pressures seen across Victoria: keeping a Registered Nurse on site around the clock, hitting funded care-minute targets and filling sick calls before the shift starts.
