Aged Care Providers: How We Help You
Recruitment in aged care goes beyond simply filling a vacancy—it’s about building teams that can make a lasting difference. At DNA Nursing, we take a consultative approach, working closely with providers to understand not just the role requirements but also the organisational culture and long-term goals. This ensures that every placement is tailored to fit your needs perfectly.
We also recognise the importance of continuity in care. By sourcing both permanent and temporary staff, we help maintain essential staffing levels while reducing turnover and agency reliance.
Australia’s aged care sector is facing a significant workforce shortage, with over 22,000 unfilled positions reported in 2023. This gap is expected to widen as the population aged 65 and older doubles by 2050. To ensure continuity of care and support the well-being of residents, it is critical for aged care providers to have access to skilled and committed staff. That’s where we step in!
Aged Care Professionals: How We Support You
At DNA Nursing, our support doesn’t end with placing professionals in roles. We’re deeply invested in the growth and success of aged care workers, offering career coaching, access to professional development opportunities, and guidance tailored to individual aspirations. We understand that happy, motivated staff are the backbone of quality aged care.
We also provide flexible work options, recognising that a balance between professional and personal life is essential for long-term satisfaction. Whether you’re seeking full-time stability or part-time flexibility, our team is here to connect you with roles that align with your career goals and lifestyle needs.
Did you know? Studies suggest that healthcare professionals who receive ongoing training are more likely to remain in their roles, contributing to lower turnover rates and improved care outcomes.

Genuine and unfiltered review: I am a Registered Nurse and have worked with multiple agencies. However, I have never felt as amazed as I do with the contract I am currently on with DNA Nursing Agency. Both Aruna and Sophie are wonderful. Since my first day with the agency, Aruna has consistently checked in to make sure I am doing well and addressed any issues I might have. No matter if it’s the weekend, she always answers my calls and happily resolves any concerns.

If you are thinking about commencing a travel nurse journey, then I can highly recommend Lucy and the Team at DNA. I had tried on and off for almost 12mths and then it was Lucy who was able to secure my role in Tasmania.
The knowledge from the outset and the assistant along the way has been incredible. Nothing is too much trouble and the team are only ever a phone call/email away
Nurse
Chloe from DNA is an excellent recruiter. She communicates clearly from start to finish and provides constructive feedback and preparation for the interview. Her support was instrumental in making the experience both memorable and positive for me. I highly recommend hiring or leveraging her expertise.

I have been with DNA Recruitment for almost a year now and my agent Ciara has been nothing but helpful along the way. She made the initial move to Australia less daunting and has always been there ready and willing to answer any of my questions. She’s locked in every nursing contract I have wanted, has taken the stress away and honestly has made my life so much easier. Thank you Ciara for being so amazing!

I had a wonderful experience with DNA Recruitment Healthcare Agency. The agency is professional, supportive, and provides excellent opportunities for healthcare professionals.
I would especially like to acknowledge Aruna, who guided me throughout my entire journey. Aruna helped me with every step, from finding the right opportunities to settling into my nursing contract. She is extremely kind, polite, and always cooperative. Her support, encouragement, and positive attitude made a big difference in my experience.
Nurse
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!
