Aged care staffing for Essendon facilities
Residential aged care homes in Essendon (3040) can book Registered Nurses, Enrolled Nurses, Personal Care Assistants and shift leaders through Aspire Nursing Agency — a licensed, aged-care-only agency supplying staff across Metropolitan West, including Moonee Ponds, Ascot Vale, Airport West and Avondale Heights.
The City of Moonee Valley, about 8 km from the Melbourne CBD, has 17 government-approved residential aged care homes with around 1,357 operational beds, including 3 in Essendon 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.
Essendon sits close to Moonee Ponds (2.1 km), Ascot Vale (3.4 km) and Pascoe Vale (3.4 km). Because we staff homes across all of these suburbs, we can often match a clinician who lives or regularly works within a short drive.
