Why Choose Jon & Jon Medical as Your RN Locum Partner?

Securing the right locum role as a Registered Nurse in Australia takes more than just scanning job listings—it requires insight, experience, and a partner who truly understands your profession. At Jon & Jon Medical, we offer a tailored, collaborative approach designed specifically for RNs who value expert guidance, exclusive opportunities, and ongoing support.


We recognise the complexity and impact of your role—from assessing patient needs and managing treatment plans to educating patients and leading nursing teams. Whether you're working in a busy city hospital or a remote community clinic, we’re here to ensure your locum experience is both seamless and deeply rewarding.


While regional placements may come with challenges such as adapting to new environments or being away from home, they also offer unique opportunities for personal growth, professional development, and the chance to make a meaningful difference in communities across the country.

Uncovering Your Next Great Opportunity

Forget endlessly scrolling through job boards. Through years of building strong, genuine relationships with public and private healthcare providers across Australia—especially where demand is highest, like regional and rural areas, and Indigenous communities—we often receive early access to a wide variety of Registered Nurse locum placements.


These aren’t just any roles — they offer meaningful work, excellent conditions, and highly 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. In hospitals, typical rates for AM shifts are between $70 to $85 an hour, plus penalties, and if you're in charge, it can be even more.


For roles in Aboriginal clinics, pay can range from $90 to $120 an hour, reflecting the vital role RNs play as the first point of contact for patients.

We cater to the full spectrum of Registered Nurse roles, offering pathways to refine skills or broaden your experience. You’ll find locum positions precisely matched to your area of interest and expertise.


Beyond the typical ward work, many RNs excel as leaders, guiding and mentoring junior nurses, or developing specialised skills in 'pool' roles, where they work across different wards and departments. RNs are often the first point of contact for patients, acting as a crucial bridge between medical professionals and individuals and families, making a profound difference every single day.

No matter where you are in your nursing 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. This includes roles in medical and surgical wards, Emergency Departments (ED), Intensive Care Units (ICU), operating theatres (perioperative), anaesthetic, maternity and neonatal units, mental health, rehabilitation wards, community health, acute/subacute care, aged care, primary health, palliative care, and specialised units like dialysis or oncology.


A rewarding lifestyle for an RN in Australia often involves a variety of regional hospital placements, with accommodation and travel support provided, along with competitive pay rates and flexible short or long-term contracts. This allows you to embrace a new lifestyle, explore unique surroundings, and experience completely different work cultures. Specific certifications beyond standard AHPRA registration, like Advanced Life Support, post-graduate qualifications in mental health, a triage certificate, or regional aboriginal clinic-specific courses like MEC (Maternity Emergency Care) and REC (Remote Emergency Care), are highly sought after. For aged care, an NDIS check might be required, and for roles supporting midwifery, FSEP (Fetal Surveillance Education Program) or Prompt (PRactical Obstetric Multi-Professional Training) certifications are often valuable.
