Why TQN Personnel
Aged care recruitment is about values as much as skills. We interview for how people treat residents and families, how they handle a difficult shift and why they chose care work, and we ask referees the same questions. Under the Aged Care Act 2024, which commenced on 1 November 2025, employees, contractors, volunteers and labour hire workers alike must hold an NDIS Worker Screening Clearance or a police certificate under 3 years old that records none of the specified offences. We check this before shortlisting, along with Certificate III qualifications and right to work. Permanent hires carry our 90-day guarantee.

Aged care hiring demand across Brisbane
Health care and social assistance, which includes aged care, is Brisbane's largest employing sector. Nationally, Jobs and Skills Australia counts 369,400 aged and disabled carers, with employment up 27,300 in a year, and projects 24.7% growth for nursing support and personal care workers over the decade to May 2035. Brisbane providers compete for that workforce all year round.
Recruitment licensing & compliance
Recruiting a care worker or nurse into a permanent role with your organisation is a recruitment service, which Queensland does not license as labour hire. Supplying care staff on contract while the agency stays the employer is labour hire. The provider must be licensed under the Labour Hire Licensing Act 2017, which took effect on 16 April 2018, and an aged care provider may use only licensed providers. TQN Personnel is licensed in Queensland and supplies the licence number on engagement. Labour hire workers in aged care also need the same worker screening as direct employees.
FAQs
What does an aged care agency in Brisbane check before placing a worker?
We confirm worker screening, qualifications such as the Certificate III in Individual Support, AHPRA registration for nurses, right to work and references from recent care supervisors. Any gaps are flagged to you before an interview, not after.
Do you recruit registered nurses for aged care in Brisbane?
Yes. We recruit RNs for clinical lead, care manager and floor roles. Aged care rates under the Nurses Award increased again from 1 August 2026, and we can help you benchmark your offer.
Can you recruit for home care as well as residential aged care?
We do both. Home care roles need people comfortable working alone and driving between clients, so we screen for a driver licence, vehicle access and independent judgement as well as care skills.
Is a Certificate III required for aged care workers?
Many providers ask for CHC33021 Certificate III in Individual Support, which includes at least 120 hours of work placement. If you will consider candidates who are still completing it, tell us and we will include them.
How fast can you fill an aged care role in Brisbane?
Expect a vetted shortlist within 7 days. Screening can add time if a candidate's clearance is not yet in place, so we prioritise people who already hold one.
