Why work a Christmas contract?
Christmas is one of the hardest times of year to staff remote and rural health services. It's also one of the most rewarding times to work in them.
- Make a real impact. Remote communities rely on contract nurses and midwives to keep services open over the holidays.
- Earn a bonus. Up to $800 on top of your contract.
- Have a different kind of Christmas. Spend the festive season somewhere unique, like the Torres Strait or Cape York.
- Keep going into the new year. Many nurses use a Christmas contract as the start of a longer stint in remote practice.
