Aged care staffing for Mernda facilities
Aspire Nursing Agency supplies aged-care-experienced RNs, ENs and PCAs to residential aged care homes in Mernda 3754. As an aged-care-only agency licensed to work anywhere in Victoria, we cover the whole City of Whittlesea — Epping, Mill Park, South Morang and Thomastown included.
The City of Whittlesea, about 25 km from the Melbourne CBD, has 15 government-approved residential aged care homes with around 1,723 operational beds. 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.
Mernda sits close to South Morang (4.5 km), Epping (6.2 km) and Mill Park (6.6 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.
