Registered Nurses (RN) cover for Footscray aged care homes

Looking for an agency RN in Footscray? We place aged-care-experienced registered nurses into facilities across Footscray and the wider City of Maribyrnong, 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 7 residential aged care homes in the City of Maribyrnong, at least 21 Registered Nurse shifts are needed every day just to keep an RN on site around the clock — and around 439 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 Maribyrnong, about 6 km from the Melbourne CBD, has 7 government-approved residential aged care homes with around 598 operational beds, including 4 in Footscray itself.
