Looking for nursing work that fits around your life? 
Whether you're balancing family commitments, transitioning toward retirement, returning to practice, studying, or simply looking for greater flexibility, Access Community Health is seeking experienced Registered Nurses to join our casual nursing team. 
  
As a casual nurse, you'll have the opportunity to accept shifts as they become available across our community services, supporting people to remain safe, well, and independent in their own homes. 
  
Why choose casual community nursing? 
Our casual opportunities may suit nurses who: 

• Want the flexibility to work when it suits them 
• Enjoy variety and working across different community settings 
• Are semi-retired but wish to remain clinically active 
• Are looking for additional work alongside another nursing role 
• Are returning to the workforce and want flexibility while rebuilding confidence 
• Prefer community-based nursing over hospital shift work 
• Want exposure to a wide range of client needs and clinical experiences

No two days are the same, and you'll have the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of people in your local community.
