Registered Nurses (RN) cover for Fairfield aged care homes

Fairfield 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 Darebin, at least 54 Registered Nurse shifts are needed every day just to keep an RN on site around the clock — and around 1,093 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 Darebin, about 6 km from the Melbourne CBD, has 18 government-approved residential aged care homes with around 1,491 operational beds. Facilities here need agency staff who can step onto the floor ready to work — covering 24/7 RN requirements, care minutes, medication rounds and short-notice gaps on nights, weekends and public holidays.
