Why Partner Your Aged Care Locum Career, Backed by Expertise

Finding the right locum role in aged care requires more than a list of vacancies—it takes genuine insight, experience, and a recruitment partner who truly understands your field. At Jon & Jon Medical, we offer more than placements; we offer a partnership tailored specifically for Aged Care Nurses who value expert guidance, exclusive opportunities, and ongoing support.

We understand the unique challenges and deeply meaningful rewards of aged care nursing. From the physical demands of the role to the emotional complexities of dementia care and end-of-life support, it takes strength, compassion, and resilience. Yet for many nurses, the role offers immense professional fulfilment and the opportunity to work in supportive, community-driven environments.

Our goal is to ensure your locum experience is smooth, empowering, and aligned with the difference you want to make.

Uncovering Your Next Great Opportunity

Forget endlessly scrolling through job boards. Through years of building strong, genuine relationships with aged care facilities, Multi-Purpose Services (MPS) sites, and hospitals across Australia—where demand is consistently high in both rural and metropolitan areas—we often receive early access to a wide variety of Aged Care Nurse locum placements. These aren’t just any roles — they offer meaningful work, excellent conditions, and competitive rates that truly value your expertise.


We work behind the scenes to uncover opportunities you won’t find elsewhere, ensuring your skills are genuinely recognised and well-rewarded. Typical pay rates for locum Aged Care Nurse roles in Australia, when working for an agency, generally fall between $65 to $80 an hour, though they typically get paid a bit less than a standard Registered Nurse.

No matter where you are in your Aged Care Nurse career journey, Jon & Jon Medical has a place for you. We have an extensive range of opportunities across various clinical settings and levels, catering to both your professional aspirations and lifestyle preferences. Aged Care Nurses in Australia often experience a good work-life balance and flexible opportunities to grow within a facility, even aspiring to management roles. They typically work in aged care facilities, but can also find positions in geriatric wards within hospitals and in community settings. Required qualifications include a Bachelor of Nursing, or a Diploma for Enrolled Nurses (EENs).v

We cater to the full spectrum of Aged Care Nurse roles. You’ll find locum positions precisely matched to your area of interest and expertise, allowing you to refine skills or broaden your experience. A unique and often unseen aspect of the Aged Care Nurse role is the distinctly friendly and often less intense environment compared to a bustling hospital. Nurses frequently partner with therapy teams to facilitate wellness and social programmes, creating a more holistic care approach. You’ll also find strong opportunities to build genuine relationships with patients as you support them, and the chance to work more independently in some settings.
