Nursing hiring demand across the Sunshine Coast
Health care and social assistance leads the Sunshine Coast's employing sectors, ahead of retail and construction. Jobs and Skills Australia's 2025 Occupation Shortage List found persistent shortages of care roles and of nurses in the care sector from 2021 to 2025, so providers recruiting experienced RNs for aged care and community settings should plan for a competitive search.
Recruitment licensing & compliance
When we recruit a nurse into your organisation on a permanent basis, it is a recruitment service and Queensland's labour hire licensing does not apply. If a provider supplies nurses or care staff while remaining their employer, that is labour hire. Queensland law, through the Labour Hire Licensing Act 2017 that took effect on 16 April 2018, requires that provider to be licensed, and you may only use licensed providers. Ask us for our licence number and we will provide it on engagement. AHPRA registration is a separate requirement for every nurse, and we check it for each candidate.
FAQs
Do you recruit nurses for aged care on the Sunshine Coast?
Yes. Aged care rules that started on 1 November 2025 require every worker to hold a police certificate under 3 years old without certain offences, or an NDIS Worker Screening Clearance. We confirm this and AHPRA registration before a nurse reaches your shortlist.
Can a nursing agency on the Sunshine Coast fill fixed-term roles?
Yes. We recruit nurses for fixed-term and contract roles such as parental leave cover or a new service opening, as well as permanent positions.
What pay should I offer nurses on the Sunshine Coast?
The Nurses Award sets minimum rates, and they went up again from 1 August 2026, following the October 2025 increase from the nurses' work value case. Experienced nurses often expect more than the minimum, so we give you a realistic view of the local market before you advertise.
How quickly can you shortlist nurses on the Sunshine Coast?
You should see a vetted shortlist of nurses within 7 days. Specialist roles such as theatre or mental health may need longer, and we flag that when you brief us.
