Aged Care Jobs in Hobart FAQs

Aged care workers are members of the healthcare industry involved in the direct care of residents on a physical, personal and emotional level. An entry level role in this industry is an Assistant in nursing/Personal care worker, and you can develop your clinical skills to become a registered nurse and beyond.

We have an extensive network of over 400 aged care homes across Australia, in metro, regional, rural and remote areas of the country.

We are looking for aged care workers in Hobart and for further afield in Tasmania, so please get in contact for more information.

In Hobart, there are a lot of variances when it comes to pay rates, as aged care casual rates depend on your position, experience level and shift times that you work. Our casual pay rates range from:

  • AIN: $38 - $75 per hour
  • EN: $40 - $81 per hour
  • RN: $50 -  $120 per hour

Aged care worker salaries vary a lot due to the awards that oversee the pay scales. Various incentives, allowances and bonuses are applicable for certain areas and contract placements. Reforms in aged care have led to pay rises for aged care workers in recent years, with more developments to come.

Contract roles range from 4 weeks - 3 months in rural, regional and remote areas of the country and permanent positions are salary based, with you being employed directly by the home.
