Short-Term RN Opportunities, Long-Term Impact

Need flexibility over the Christmas period? Hillview Bunyip is recruiting multiple Registered Nurses for fixed-term contracts through to end of February 2025 to help us manage staffing and annual leave over the busy Christmas period.

This is your chance to work in a supportive, progressive aged care environment with genuinely competitive rates—without a long-term commitment.

Competitive Rates

$43 - $55 per hour (experience-based and shift-dependent)
