Aged care staffing for South Melbourne facilities
Aspire Nursing Agency supplies aged-care-experienced RNs, ENs and PCAs to residential aged care homes in South Melbourne 3205. As an aged-care-only agency licensed to work anywhere in Victoria, we cover the whole City of Port Phillip — St Kilda, Albert Park, Port Melbourne and Middle Park included.
The City of Port Phillip, about 2 km from the Melbourne CBD, has 7 government-approved residential aged care homes with around 653 operational beds, including 3 in South Melbourne itself. 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.
Our clinicians already work nearby in Southbank (1 km), Albert Park (1.2 km) and Port Melbourne (1.8 km), so short-notice shifts in South Melbourne can usually be covered by someone who knows the area.
