In remote and regional areas, the need is especially urgent-many clinics rely on locum or fly-in-fly-out staff just to keep services running. Even in metro areas, demand continues to grow as more patients seek culturally safe care, chronic disease management, and preventative support.<\/p>\r\n<p>For nurses, this field offers more than a job, it&#8217;s a chance to take on greater responsibility, lead community health initiatives and work at the heart of care delivery. Whether it&#8217;s managing complex chronic conditions, running outreach programs, or being the sole nurse on-site, the scope of practice is wide and meaningful.<\/p>\r\n<p>We place nurses into Aboriginal Medical Services, community-controlled health organisations, metro-based Indigenous health centres, mobile outreach teams, correctional health, and community programs across the country, connecting you to roles that offer purpose, challenge and impact.<\/p>\r\n<p><a title=\"Click Here\" role=\"button\" href=\"#contact\" target=\"_self\" aria-label=\"Enquire Now\"> Enquire Now <\/a><\/p>\r\n<h2>Why DNA for Primary &amp; Aboriginal Healthcare Nursing?<\/h2>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>At DNA Nursing, we take a relationship-first approach to recruitment because placing nurses in Primary and Aboriginal Healthcare settings isn&#8217;t just about filling shifts, it&#8217;s about cultural alignment, clinical fit and long-term impact. We invest time in understanding each health service, its community, and the unique dynamics that shape care delivery on the ground.<\/p>\r\n<p>Our nurses are fully credentialed with AHPRA registration and the relevant training for remote or Indigenous health settings. We look for professionals with at least two years&#8217; experience across multiple Aboriginal Health placements, ensuring they bring both adaptability and understanding. Every placement includes end-to-end logistical support, cultural briefings, and onboarding managed by our in-house team. We also offer mentorship opportunities with experienced remote health nurses and are in the process of covering CRANAplus membership for our dedicated team members.<\/p>\r\n<p>With over eight years in rural and Indigenous health recruitment, hundreds of placements nationwide, and a 15-strong team behind every match, DNA Nursing is trusted by AMSs, PHNs, and health departments to deliver quality, culturally safe staffing solutions-backed by genuine care and deep sector experience.<\/p>\r\n<h2>Our Primary &amp; Aboriginal Healthcare Solutions\u00a0<\/h2>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>\r\n<h3>Comprehensive Recruitment Solutions<\/h3>\r\n<p>\u00a0At DNA Nursing, we provide a full spectrum of aged care recruitment services tailored to the unique needs of this vital sector.

The team were very understanding and supportive and found a well-paid locum job in a very welcoming team in a Regional Hospital. There was always good communication, arranging all the paperwork and constantly checking in to see how the job was going, and the accounts team were very happy to work with my requests to enable sacrifice of pay to increase Super contribution.<\/p>\r\n<p>A great experience.

Bev has gone above and beyond to find me work, and been incredibly supportive throughout the process.<\/p>\r\n<p>I\u2019ve worked with several locum agencies in the past, and most of them just do the bare minimum (which I don\u2019t begrudge). But Bev has been an absolute joy to have as my agent, and I\u2019ve already referred another colleague to her. Even Veronika in payroll has been very helpful, friendly, and accommodating.
