Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do I get a uniform?

    Yes you do! We provide all our mental health nurses with a high quality and comfortable uniform, either a polo shirt or scrubs. 


    Designed in consultation with our nurses, the uniforms feature our stylish navy and the signature First Choice Care red tick.

  • How much will I earn?

    As an agency mental health nurse you’ll receive a casual rate. This specific rate will differ depending on your qualifications, designation, level of experience, and the healthcare client you are working with. 


    The great thing about agency mental health nursing is that you have more control over how much you work. You can choose the shifts that you work without the limitations of a team roster and colleague availability. If you want shifts with a higher penalty rate, you can choose them. It’s all up to you.


  • Is there a certain number of shifts I must take each week?

    No, there are no minimums or limits! We want you to be able to work around your life. So that means you can take as many shifts or as little shifts as you’d like.

  • Can I work at specific healthcare facilities?

    Yes you can! We are the preferred supplier for many national mental health facility groups, with plenty of work available, and we’re adding more facilities every day. 


    So, if you have a few healthcare facilities that you love, then just select the shifts on offer for that facility. But, we recommend that you try out other healthcare facilities in your area. You never know, you may love them. That’s the benefit of agency nursing, the choice is entirely yours.
