Registered Nurses
We need Registered Nurses to fill short-term placements in remote Indigenous communities in the Northern Territory. Placements are paid and from as little as three weeks up to three months. Cultural and Clinical training is provided before the first placement commences to help prepare our health professionals for the work and life they will participate in a remote community.
