For Job Applicants

Roles, requirements and how to apply.

You can apply as a Registered Nurse, Enrolled Nurse, Assistant in Nursing or Care Support Worker. Each role is described on the Current Jobs page, along with its key requirements.

Registered Nurses and Enrolled Nurses must hold current AHPRA registration. Assistants in Nursing and Care Support Workers are not registered through AHPRA, so that part of the application is optional for those roles.

This depends on the role and where you will work. You may need a police check, an NDIS Worker Check, an Aged Care Sector Employment Check, a Working With Children Check and current First Aid or CPR. The application form asks for the status of each, and we will confirm what applies to you.

Yes. The application form lets you state whether you prefer casual, part-time or full-time work, along with your availability and preferred locations. Available work depends on current demand.

GemCareStaffing is focused on South Australia. Opportunities vary by location and setting, so please list your preferred working locations on your application and we can discuss what may be available.

Attach your resume to the application form, along with a cover letter and any supporting documents you would like to include. If you have trouble uploading, you can email your documents to careers@gemcarestaffing.com.

Screening is matched to the role and the setting. It generally covers qualifications, professional registration through AHPRA for nurses, relevant checks and clearances, work history and competency.

Clinical Care

Governance, care planning and quality.

We treat clinical governance as a shared responsibility. That means clear professional accountability, practice within scope, accurate documentation, risk management, incident reporting, infection prevention and control, medication safety and ongoing development of workforce competency.

Good care plans begin with a thorough assessment and a conversation with the person. They should reflect the individual's preferences, goals and clinical needs, and they should change as circumstances change. Where appropriate, families and other health professionals are part of that process.

Depending on the setting, this can include documentation audits, medication management audits where applicable, infection prevention and control reviews, clinical incident monitoring and care plan compliance. Findings feed into continuous improvement.

Safe care and person-centred care go together. We look for people who respect dignity and choice, communicate openly, work within their scope and speak up when something is not right. Regular reviews help make sure care keeps matching what each person needs.
