\n\t\tAcute Care & Hospital Nursing Across Australia \n\t<\/h2>\n\t

Australia’s acute care sector is under immense pressure, with a projected national nursing shortfall of over 70,000 by 2035. Both public and private hospitals are working hard to keep pace, particularly in high-demand areas like emergency, surgical and critical care.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

For nurses, acute care offers fast-paced, rewarding work with clear pathways for growth. DNA Nursing places professionals in a variety of hospital environments, from major metros to rural hospitals, day surgery centres and remote health services, helping you find the right fit to build your skills and make a real impact.\u00a0<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tEnquire Now\n\t\t<\/a>\n

\n\t\tWhy DNA for Acute Care & Hospital Nursing? \n\t<\/h2>\n\t

 <\/p>\n

At DNA Nursing, we’re more than a recruitment agency, we’re a clinical-first partner with deep experience in hospital environments. With former clinicians on our team, we understand the pace, complexity and demands of acute care nursing. That insight shapes everything we do, from how we screen candidates to how we support each placement on the ground.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Every nurse we place is fully credentialed to AHPRA standards, with up-to-date immunisation records, mandatory training, police checks, and tailored onboarding to meet each hospital’s protocols. Our matching process aligns nurses with placements based on clinical skillset, shift preferences, career goals and cultural fit. Nurses receive clear, honest role previews and ongoing support from our team.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Beverley Anne from DNA Medical Recruitment was a pleasure to deal with. Honest, efficient and professional at all times.<\/p>\n <\/h3>\n \n

Dave KC<\/p>\n

Doctor<\/p>\n\t\n Candidate\n

\n \t

Beverley is the best agent for me – she responds efficiently, goes above and beyond in finding me the most suitable shifts, checks up on me to make sure I’m okay almost daily and you can tell she genuinely wants the best for you. Thank you so much, Beverley, for making everything so smooth for me!<\/p>\n <\/h3>\n \n

Aminah Razley<\/p>\n

I couldn’t recommend Bev the team at DNA Recruitment more highly.<\/p>\n

Having been away from hospital practice for 2 years, I was a little nervous stepping back into acute medicine. 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>\n

A great experience. I would recommend to any who are looking to engage in locum practice to contact DNA Recruit.<\/p>\n <\/h3>\n \n

Ben Harkin<\/p>\n

Doctor<\/p>\n\t\n Candidate\n

\n \t

Bev was recommended to me by another doctor, and I can see why. From our very first contact, she has been warm, encouraging, and extremely helpful. I’ve had some difficult personal circumstances, which I was afraid would affect my ability to work. Bev has gone above and beyond to find me work, and been incredibly supportive throughout the process.<\/p>\n

I’ve worked with several locum agencies in the past, and most of them just do the bare minimum (which I don’t begrudge). But Bev has been an absolute joy to have as my agent, and I’ve already referred another colleague to her. Even Veronika in payroll has been very helpful, friendly, and accommodating. I haven’t worked with anyone else in DNA Recruit, but so far I have only good things to say about them.<\/p>\n <\/h3>\n \n

Ariel Quahe<\/p>\n

Doctor<\/p>\n\t\n Candidate\n

\n \t

Thank you Bey you’re adorable. I’m sure you appreciate how competitive the recruitment market is and it’s no secret i have dealt with several agencies (who often advertise the same opportunities) – but one by one shed them in favour of you because in addition to being so damn professional you have a genuine bedside manner which helps to make the tedious process of organising things trip after trip that bit easier – a fact which has not gone unnoticed, and I am grateful for.<\/p>\n <\/h3>\n \n

Dr David Khaicy<\/p>\n

Anaesthetic Locum<\/p>\n\t\n Candidate\n

\n \t

Thank you Bev, you are amazing! I am impressed with how quickly you managed and sort things out! Thanks for advocating for me.<\/p>\n <\/h3>\n \n

Dr Sambridhi Adhikari<\/p>\n

Doctor<\/p>\n\t\n Candidate\n

\n \t

DNA Medical Recruitment provide a warm, caring service to Doctors, and they are an absolute pleasure to deal with. Bev is my consultant, and I could not ask any more of her. She is always ready to help, nothing is an issue and she bends over backwards to ensure that I am moving to a position that suits me. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending DNA to any of our colleagues, whether it be nursing or medical. Thank you Bev for all that you do.<\/p>\n <\/h3>\n \n

Penelope McLernon<\/p>\n

Doctor<\/p>\n\t\n Candidate\n

\n \t

I have worked with David over the last year and he is professional, reliable and always keeps me up to date with work matters. David also responds to emails and phone calls promptly which assists me with managing my work schedules. There were occasions in which David had to chase the primary employer for clarification few hours be for my shift, and David has come through with the necessary clarification. I would highly recommend David’s leadership and honesty when it comes to managing your locum placement.<\/p>\n <\/h3>\n \n
