Frequently Asked Questions
What allowances are available?
Certain expenses that you may incur while on contract are covered.
We provide a Living away From Home Allowance to help with food costs and other small items.
Accommodation in Tasmania, New South Wales, and Queensland is provided for free (T&Cs can apply if you source your own accommodation), while in the Northern Territory, there is a weekly charge for accommodation.
For travel, if you fly, we organise it, but if you drive, there are fuel caps available.
With these expenses covered, you can focus on enjoying the career opportunities and incredible scenery.
Do I get paid more?
Yes! Rural nurses have a higher hourly rate which you get for choosing to work in rural locations. So, not only do you get some great benefits, but you’re also getting higher pay.
How do I get to each contract?
That is entirely up to you. We will arrange flights on your behalf to match your arrival and departure times with the contract. If you prefer to drive, we can provide fuel caps to help you reach your contract. You will be issued with an itinerary and have access to 24/7 support should you need to talk to the team.
