Registered Nurse Jobs in Toowoomba FAQs
Registered nurses in aged care homes are responsible for providing high quality care to residents on a physical, emotional and holistic level. If you are considering entering the aged care industry, a popular route to go down is to qualify as an Assistant in nursing/personal care worker, and through upskilling, you can step into the role of a registered nurse.

As well as Toowoomba, in Queensland we have positions in:

There are a lot of variables when it comes to pay rates, as aged care casual rates depend on your position, experience level and shift times that you work. The average registered nurse casual pay rates range from $50 - $120 per hour.
Incentives, allowances and bonuses are applicable for certain contract placements and locations. Reforms in aged care have led to pay rises for aged care workers in recent years, with more developments to come.
As a rule of thumb, you need 1 year of Australian aged care experience to work as part of our casual registered nurse pool. If you have under this, get in contact as we do have opportunity for new/recent graduates to work in a few of our homes.
