Aged Care Providers: How We Help You
Recruitment in aged care goes beyond simply filling a vacancy—it’s about building teams that can make a lasting difference. At DNA Nursing, we take a consultative approach, working closely with providers to understand not just the role requirements but also the organisational culture and long-term goals. This ensures that every placement is tailored to fit your needs perfectly.
We also recognise the importance of continuity in care. By sourcing both permanent and temporary staff, we help maintain essential staffing levels while reducing turnover and agency reliance.
Australia’s aged care sector is facing a significant workforce shortage, with over 22,000 unfilled positions reported in 2023. This gap is expected to widen as the population aged 65 and older doubles by 2050. To ensure continuity of care and support the well-being of residents, it is critical for aged care providers to have access to skilled and committed staff. That’s where we step in!
Aged Care Professionals: How We Support You
At DNA Nursing, our support doesn’t end with placing professionals in roles. We’re deeply invested in the growth and success of aged care workers, offering career coaching, access to professional development opportunities, and guidance tailored to individual aspirations. We understand that happy, motivated staff are the backbone of quality aged care.
We also provide flexible work options, recognising that a balance between professional and personal life is essential for long-term satisfaction. Whether you’re seeking full-time stability or part-time flexibility, our team is here to connect you with roles that align with your career goals and lifestyle needs.
Did you know? Studies suggest that healthcare professionals who receive ongoing training are more likely to remain in their roles, contributing to lower turnover rates and improved care outcomes.
DNA Healthcare success stories
We’ve had the pleasure of placing thousands of healthcare professionals at hospitals and organisations across Australia. Hear about their experience with DNA Healthcare.
I am a GP and rural generalist, and DNA Medical Recruitment is my locum agency. With them I have never felt like an asset, but rather as member of a team helping to provide rural health services where it is needed. At the same time I am seen as an individual with my own needs and requirements, and respected as such. Eamon as my personal contact and recruiter and is professional, reliable and friendly. He has a thorough understanding of the field and is always up to date.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Eamon as my medical recruit officer, and I must say that my experience was exceptional. From the moment I reached out for assistance, Eamon demonstrated a high level of professionalism and dedication.

Eamon’s knowledge and expertise in the medical field were evident throughout our interactions. He took the time to thoroughly understand my needs and provided valuable guidance, ensuring that I was well-prepared for the recruitment process.

Can’t speak highly enough for this agency. They gave me the opportunity to work in WA after weeks of waiting for a job from WA pool and applications for RN jobs.
