Acute Care Nursing

Vanguard Health connects experienced acute care nurses with travel nursing opportunities across regional, rural and remote health services.

From busy medical and surgical wards to multidisciplinary regional hospitals, find placements where your experience can make an immediate difference.

Why Become a Travel Acute Care Nurse?

  • Impactful & Rewarding Work
  • Competitive Pay
  • Travel & Accommodation
  • Dedicated Support

At Vanguard Health, we don’t just connect Acute Care Nurses with jobs, we help experienced nurses take their clinical skills across Australia while building a career and lifestyle that works for them.

From short-term contracts to longer placements, our flexible rural and regional acute nursing roles give you the opportunity to experience new hospitals, work across diverse medical and surgical environments, and discover communities across Australia.

With competitive above-award pay, travel and accommodation support on eligible placements, and a dedicated team behind you, you can broaden your acute nursing experience, support health services where your skills are needed most, and turn every placement into a rewarding new adventure.

Turn Every Acute Nursing Contract Into a New Adventure

Your acute nursing skills can take you further than you think.

Vanguard Health offers acute nursing placements across some of Australia's most interesting regional, rural and remote destinations.

One contract could take you to a major regional hospital, while the next could see you working within a smaller health service surrounded by landscapes and communities you may never otherwise experience.

Build your clinical experience, work alongside new teams and explore Australia between shifts.

What Our Acute Nurses Say About Us!

The following reviews are about our dedicated Acute nursing consultant Madie

I have had a truely positive experience working with Vanguard on my first travel nursing contract. Madison and Vicky are so very supportive and have continually checked in on me from the beginning. Madison has always been on the other end of phone if I have needed anything while on contract.

My experience with Vanguard Health has been outstanding. Madison has been my lovely agent. The process from the job offer through to arriving at the contract has been seamless. Every detail has been carefully organised, and I feel valued as a Vanguard Health employee.

Vanguard have been great from the minute I put in my expression of interest. I have been lucky enough to have been in contact with Madison and Vicky. Both Madison and Vicky have been very tentative and extremely helpful with getting everything organised for my first contract.
