Find Rewarding Remote Area Nurse Locum Jobs Across Australia with Jon & Jon Medical

As a committed Remote Area Nurse (RAN), your broad primary healthcare expertise is essential to the health and resilience of Australia’s most isolated communities. At Jon & Jon Medical, we truly understand both the challenges and the deeply rewarding nature of your role.


In remote settings, you often function as both generalist and specialist—managing acute and chronic conditions, responding to emergencies, and making critical decisions independently, often without immediate access to a doctor.


We’re proud to be your specialist recruitment partner, connecting skilled RANs like you with meaningful locum opportunities across the country. Our tailored approach focuses on your clinical versatility, your adaptability, and your desire to make a real difference—ensuring we find not just any role, but the right role for you.


Your Adventure. Your Next Rural and Remote Nursing Locum

The Right Partner for Your Remote Area Nursing Journey

Securing the right locum role as a Remote Area Nurse (RAN) requires more than access to job listings—it takes specialist insight, genuine support, and a partner who understands the realities of working in rural and remote settings.

At Jon & Jon Medical, we offer a true partnership built specifically for RAN professionals who value expertise, exclusive opportunities, and a recruitment team that has your back.


We recognise the unique demands of remote nursing—where you’re often the first point of contact in under-resourced clinics, making critical decisions in high-pressure situations such as trauma or outbreaks. While the role presents real challenges, it also offers unmatched rewards: professional autonomy, deep community trust, and the chance to experience Australia’s vast and diverse landscapes through meaningful travel nursing opportunities.



We’re here to make your locum experience as smooth, impactful, and personally fulfilling as possible.


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 the Northern Territory (NT) everywhere, North or inland West Queensland, and the North-West to East of Western Australia, with some in South Australia (near the NT/WA border) and NSW—we often receive early access to a wide variety of Remote Area 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. Typical pay rates for locum RAN roles range between $90 to $120 an hour, reflecting the vital, multi-skilled care you provide.

The lifestyle of a Remote Area Nurse in Australia is unique, adventurous, and deeply meaningful—though it’s certainly not for everyone. It perfectly blends significant clinical autonomy with geographic isolation, often offering a sense of peaceful solitude and space amidst complete nature. You'll work in diverse environments like Aboriginal clinics, Multipurpose Services (MPS), and small rural hospitals, gaining invaluable experience. Specific qualifications like MEC (Maternity Emergency Care) and REC (Remote Emergency Care) courses, 4WD certificates, and Pharm/Immunisation Endorsement are highly sought after. With Jon & Jon, you can choose when you want to work, experience a mix of rural, outback, and tropical locations, all while enjoying flexible rosters, high rates, and often provided accommodation and travel. It’s an opportunity for profound personal growth and professional expansion.

We cater to the full spectrum of Remote Area 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 demanding yet predictable nature of generalist RAN duties, the role offers a rich, layered experience that combines deep personal growth, professional expansion, and vital cultural connection. The clinical autonomy you'll experience is often unmatched in most other nursing roles, empowering you to make significant decisions independently. RANs are inherently multi-skilled and adept at multi-tasking, acting as the bridge between isolated communities and broader healthcare systems.
