Any questions?

  • How long are the contracts?

    Contracts range from 4 weeks to 12 weeks. Generally there will be an option to extend depending on your availability. The choice is yours!

  • What are the pay rates?

    Pay rates vary depending on the location of work. Rural and Remote locations pay higher than Regional locations. Placement incentives may be applicable, too, depending on the duration of the contract.

  • Am I covered by insurance?

    You will be covered under First Choice Care's Personal Indemnity and Workcover insurance.

  • Can I be employed by multiple agencies at the same time?

    Yes, every agency will have individual relationships with different facilities. We ask that you be upfront about any pending applications with other agencies to avoid being put forward twice.

  • Will I be liable for any travel costs?

    Travel is covered to and from placement locations (one-off each way). If you terminate your contract prior to completion, you may be liable for your own return travel costs.

  • Can I travel with my partner or pet?

    Each location will have its own rules regarding suitability for partners and pets. Your consultant will need to ask on a case-by-case basis. The simple answer is: sometimes!

  • How many hours will I work each week?

    You will be guaranteed a minimum of 38 hours per week, under a casual engagement.
