About First Choice Care

First Choice Care (FCC) started out as a family run business in 2005 with an understanding that nurses and midwives value flexibility. FCC started engaging with a wide range of providers to offer a diverse range of work opportunities across public, private, and aged care facilities giving our nurses and midwives shifts that suit their lifestyle and preferences.


First Choice Care has grown tremendously since it’s humble beginnings, but the one thing that has not changed is our relationship and connection with our nurses and midwives. We continue to keep the personal touch, while we are still large enough to work with some of the premier facilities in Queensland to offer flexible nursing roles.

Also, there is so much diversity clinically and loads of opportunity. Nursing is never boring!” What has been the highlight of working with First Choice Care? “The highlights for me of working with First Choice are the variability of sites and shifts, and keeping in touch with different facilities and education providers.” Would you recommend First Choice Care to other nurses and why? “I would recommend First Choice to other nurses as they are supportive, have a good feel for specific skill sets, and include enough variety that it's endlessly interesting.” We’re incredibly proud to have Jo as part of the First Choice Care family and congratulate her on being named September’s Nurse of the Month!

Nurses are in high demand across Australia. Our country’s healthcare needs are more complex and our population is aging, making the expertise nurses bring even more important. The most in-demand nurses are highly educated and specialised. We’ve put together a list of the top 5 in-demand nursing jobs in Australia. If you’re looking for some inspiration for the next stage of your career, or just love nursing, check out the list below. 1. Aged care nurses Australia’s population is getting older, and they’re requiring more specialised care and attention. Aged care nurses form the core of care for elderly residents, so are needed in ever larger numbers to provide a high level of care. As an aged care nurse, you’ll be responsible for providing medical care and support for elderly residents across a variety of facilities. You can work in residential care facilities, nursing homes, community care facilities, or private homes. Some of your typical duties include assisting with daily living, monitoring patient conditions, administering medications (Oral/IV/injectable), providing wound /drainage care, and much more. You can check out some of our jobs available here. 2. Registered nurses Registered Nurses (RNs) are the backbone of our healthcare system. They provide important frontline patient care and make a massive impact on health outcomes. RNs are also required to complete a high level of education, having to hold at least a Bachelor of Nursing. Their role and level of qualification make them expert generalists, which is highly desirable in public and private healthcare facilities across the country. RN’s perform countless crucial jobs from giving medications to patients, monitoring vital signs, and so much more. 3. Critical care or ICU nurses Critical care and ICU nurses work in a dynamic high-pressure environment that, while demanding, is priceless for career growth. No two days are the same for these nurses, where you’ll be under pressure to adapt on the fly, providing high quality care to critical patients. It takes a special set of skills, and qualifications, to be a Critical Care or ICU nurse. You need to be a qualified registered nurse (RN) and have an advanced degree with a specialisation in critical care or intensive care. These high-level skills make these nurses highly sought after. While it can be a tough job, it is rewarding. 4. Theatre nurses Theatre nursing is another high-pressure environment. They’re responsible for providing care before, during, and after your patients undergo surgery. Whether you’re working with them in the pre-assessment phase, during the procedure, while they recover, or through it all, you're an essential part of ensuring a successful surgery. To become a theatre nurse you’ll typically need experience in scrub/scout, anaesthetics and recovery. As well as this, you need to have at least a year’s experience working as an RN. Many nurses also complete a specialist postgraduate qualification. The high levels of qualifications and experience required makes these nurses highly valuable and in demand. 5. Mental health nurses Mental health services in Australia are crying out for more nurses. According to the Australian Institute of Health, over 44% of Australians will experience a mental disorder during their lifetime. This has put a lot of pressure on existing mental health services. Mental health nursing is a specialised field where nurses looking to pursue this path will complete a postgraduate diploma in mental health, after their undergraduate nursing degree. Many nurses then choose to specialise in a particular area, such as alcohol and substance use, family therapy, eating disorders and psychotherapy. There are a lot of opportunities and variety in mental health nursing, making it extremely exciting for nurses who wish to pursue a career in the field. Conclusion If you’re looking to work in one of these 5 areas of nursing, then you’ll be in high demand! Any nurse in these fields gets to pick the opportunity that matches their lifestyle. Are you looking for a flexible schedule, the backing of a supportive team, and a higher hourly wage? Then you’ll love First Choice Care. We’re looking for experienced RN’s and specialised nurses to fill shifts in your choice of private or public healthcare facilities across Australia. Apply today!

At First Choice Care (FCC), we take pride in celebrating the incredible work of our nursing staff. For August, we are thrilled to announce Kat as our Nurse of the Month! As a dedicated travel nurse, Kat has made a lasting impact on patients across Australia while balancing her personal and professional life. Here's a closer look at her journey with FCC. What do you like most about FCC? "One of the things I like the most about FCC is the variety of contracts on offer to nurses throughout Australia and the work/life balance I've been able to achieve working as a travel nurse." Why did you want to be a nurse? "I chose to become a Registered Nurse because the profession offers a unique combination of personal and professional fulfillment. The ability to provide care, support, and comfort to patients during some of the most vulnerable moments of their lives gives me a profound sense of purpose. Furthermore, I have always been fascinated by the human body and how its complex systems work in unison to sustain life. You can probably guess some of the subjects I enjoyed most whilst at university!" What has been the highlight of working with FCC? "The best part of working with FCC has been the opportunity to improve my clinical skills, meet new people, and explore locations I wouldn’t have discovered if I had continued working solely in Brisbane." Would you recommend FCC to other nurses and why? "I would recommend my consultant, Sasha, to any of my nursing friends considering travel nursing. I have found Sasha to be dependable, an excellent communicator, and proactive in securing contracts for her clients." Conclusion Kat's passion for nursing, her adventurous spirit, and her dedication to delivering top-quality care make her a shining example of what it means to be part of the FCC family. We are proud to have her as our Nurse of the Month for August and look forward to supporting her continued success as she travels and makes a difference across Australia. Congratulations, Kat!
