About the role
Medacs Healthcare is recruiting experienced Registered Nurses (RN) for remote and regional residential aged care facilities across Australia.
These roles suit nurses who are adaptable, clinically confident and motivated by work that is professionally challenging and personally rewarding. You'll often be part of a small, tight‑knit team, supporting older residents in communities where aged care plays a vital role.
What makes these roles different
- Play a part in helping in isolated or semi‑isolated communities with limited external services
- Greater clinical autonomy and broader scope of practice
- Strong focus on culturally respectful, person‑centred care
- Slower pace than metro - but greater responsibility
- Opportunity to make a genuine impact, not just fill shifts
Key responsibilities
- Medication rounds, assessments and care planning
- Wound care, escalation and after‑hours decision making
- Supporting ENs and PCAs in small teams
- Clear documentation and handover
- Working respectfully within community expectations
What we're looking for
- Current AHPRA registration as an RN
- Recent aged care experience (remote/regional ideal, not essential)
- High level of independence and resilience
- Strong communication and cultural awareness
- Full Australian working rights
Why work with Medacs
- Travel & accommodation provided on most contracts
- End‑to‑end support before, during and after placement
- Transparent conversations - no surprises
- Aged care specialists who understand remote work realities
