Kenmore Health Recruitment

One thing we hear all the time..."I wish I'd found you guys earlier."

Not because we magically have contracts nobody else has, but because we actually explain them.

We'll go through the hospital, the team, the accommodation, the roster, the on-call.
The things nobody thinks to ask until it's too late. And if we don't know - we do all that we can to try and find out!

We'd rather spend the extra time with you making sure it's the right fit than have you ringing us a week into the contract wishing you'd never accepted it.

That's just how we work.

If that sounds like the kind of agency you want behind you, we'd love to chat.

What do Nurse Unit Managers actually look for in an agency nurse?

Clinical skills are a given — but they're not the whole story.

We've shared what healthcare facilities tell us they really value in agency nurses and midwives in our latest Insights article.

If you ask most people what makes a great agency nurse, they'll probably say clinical skills. They're right—to a point. Clinical competence is the minimum expectation. Healthcare facilities engage agency nurses because they need experienced clinicians who can provide safe, high-quality care from t...

Things we've noticed after years of speaking with nurses and midwives is that career decisions are rarely just about the job, they're about life.

The contract that suited you as a new graduate may not suit you when you're raising a family. And the role that works for you today may look completely different once the kids have grown up and you've got a little more freedom to travel or try something new.

Today is International Nurses Day. And if there’s one thing worth being very clear about, it’s this: nurses aren’t just part of the future of healthcare — they are the future of it.

According to the International Council of Nurses, there are around 470,000 nurses in Australia — the largest workforce in healthcare, and consistently the most trusted profession in the country.

But we are also facing a projected shortfall of more than 70,000 nurses by 2035.
That gap isn’t just a workforce issue. It’s a care access issue. A system sustainability issue. A future-of-healthcare issue.

Because everything in healthcare ultimately relies on nurses being there — making clinical decisions, delivering hands-on care, managing complexity, and holding the system together at the pointy end where it matters most.

At Kenmore Health Recruitment, this is exactly why we do what we do. We support healthcare facilities to maintain access to high-quality nursing staff — ensuring care doesn’t break down where it’s needed most, particularly in regional and remote Australia.

And just as importantly, we support nurses themselves. Because retention isn’t only about filling shifts. It’s about building pathways. Creating exposure to different areas of practice. Supporting movement into new environments. And opening opportunities for nurses who may be feeling stuck, burnt out, or simply ready for something different — so they can stay in the profession rather than leave it altogether.

Because every nurse who leaves the profession is not just a staffing gap. It’s lost experience, lost capability, and lost future care.

This year’s theme — “Our Nurses. Our Future. Empowered Nurses Save Lives.” — says it plainly: the future of healthcare depends on how well we support, value, and empower nurses today.

So today isn’t just recognition. It’s a reminder of responsibility. To every nurse: thank you for the work you do, the care you deliver, and the future you are actively shaping.

It’s International Day of the Midwife today, which feels like a very good time to say something that probably doesn’t get said enough:

Midwives are extraordinary.

Not in an inspirational quote kind of way — but in a very real, very practical, “holding it all together when everything is on the line” kind of way.

The 2026 theme, “One Million More Midwives,” isn’t just a slogan. It’s a pretty stark reminder that we don’t have enough of the people who quite literally hold the beginning of life in their hands. And somehow, despite that, midwives keep showing up — in hospitals, in regional towns, in remote communities — working as deeply skilled experts, doing deeply human work, often under pressure most people never see.

They advocate when it matters. They provide care that is equal parts clinical expertise and genuine humanity — which is a harder balance than it sounds. And they keep doing it, even when the system around them is under strain — and sometimes can feel a bit broken.

At Kenmore Health Recruitment, we see how critical midwives are — especially when it comes to making sure women in regional and remote Australia can continue to access quality maternity care.

So today isn’t about over-polished praise. It’s about recognising a workforce that is highly skilled, essential, and central to all of our futures.

To every midwife: we see you, we value you, and we’re very glad you’re there.

Not your average nursing contract — and definitely not your average setting.

If you’re the kind of nurse who can think on your feet, handle the unexpected, and doesn’t mind a dirt road or two… keep reading.

We’re recruiting for remote NT contracts where your skills actually matter — working in communities where you’ll be hands-on, valued, and making a real difference every single day.

📍 Current roles:

🔹 Male RAN/RN – 5 May – 14 June 2026

🔹Male RAN/RN – 5 May – 30 June 2026

🔹Male RAN/RN – 11 May – 14 June 2026

🔹 Sexual Health Nurse – ASAP start | Minimum 6 weeks (option to extend)

The essentials (non-negotiables):
– Manual driver’s licence (you’ll need it — trust us)
– Previous remote or similar experience highly regarded
– Ability to work autonomously and adapt quickly

What you’ll get:
– Paid in line with facility award
– Annual leave + sick leave accrual
– Travel & accommodation fully covered
– Contract completion bonus for 6-week placements

This isn’t a “tick-the-box” contract. It’s real work, in real communities — and it’s not for everyone. But if it is for you, it’s incredibly rewarding.
