Affinity Nursing is the only nursing agency in Australia that holds a government tender in every state and territory. That means agency nurses and midwives who work with Affinity Nursing have the whole of Australia available to contract in. Pick a state and go!
Australian nursing agencies typically offer contracts in a certain number of states, depending on where they operate and where they hold tender agreements. This means that when you’re with certain agencies, your options may be limited when it comes to choosing nursing or midwifery contracts.
Even if an agency can get you work in the state or region you’re interested in, they may not have a tender agreement. Tendered agency applications are always prioritised by facilities. This doesn’t mean you can’t get a contract with a non-tendered agency, but it does mean you may not be ‘seen first’ and accepted, or you may not have the opportunity of ongoing work.
If you are looking to do travel contracts all around Australia, Affinity Nursing has the whole country unlocked and ready for you. We are the only nursing and midwifery agency in Australia with tender agreements with each state and territory. This doesn’t happen by accident — this is the result of over 20 years in the business and the strong working relationships we’ve built with state and territory health departments.
