Why TQN Personnel
Nursing hires go wrong when clinical fit is assumed. A strong ward nurse is not automatically right for theatre, and an experienced aged care RN may not want acute shifts. We match on specialty, setting and roster first, then verify the essentials: current AHPRA registration with any conditions noted, recent clinical references and the screening your facility needs. Permanent placements are covered by our 90-day guarantee, so if a nurse leaves or is not working out in that time, we recruit again at no charge.

Nursing hiring demand across Brisbane
Health care and social assistance is Brisbane's largest employing sector, and major hospital expansions on the city's south side are adding inpatient beds, surgical capacity and intensive care. Each new ward needs nurses to open it. Nationally, Jobs and Skills Australia counts 361,200 registered nurses in work, with employment growing by 15,800 in a year.

source ↗Recruitment licensing & compliance
Recruiting a nurse into a permanent role on your payroll is a recruitment service, and in Queensland it does not need a labour hire licence. Supplying workers on a contract where the agency remains the employer is labour hire, which Queensland has licensed since 16 April 2018 under the Labour Hire Licensing Act 2017, and the health service using those workers must only engage licensed providers. We are a licensed Queensland provider and give you the licence number on engagement. Professional registration is separate: every nurse must hold current registration through AHPRA, which we verify before shortlisting.
FAQs
How do you check a nurse's AHPRA registration?
We search AHPRA's public register of practitioners and confirm the registration type, division and status, plus any conditions, undertakings or notations. We record the check and repeat it before the nurse starts.
Do you provide agency nursing in Brisbane?
Our focus is recruiting nurses into permanent, fixed-term and contract roles with your organisation. If you need regular cover, tell us the shift pattern and we will talk through options such as a fixed-term contract that gives your team the same nurse every week.
Can you recruit internationally qualified nurses for Brisbane employers?
Internationally qualified nurses must hold AHPRA registration before they can practise in Australia. Visa sponsorship is the employer's decision, and migration advice should come from a registered migration agent. For candidates already in Australia, we check work rights through VEVO.
What does a nursing agency in Brisbane charge?
For a permanent nurse placement we charge a percentage of the first-year salary once the nurse starts. Contract roles are charged at an agreed hourly rate. We quote before the search begins, and if we do not place anyone, you pay nothing.
Which Brisbane settings do you recruit nurses for?
Hospitals, day surgeries, GP and specialist clinics, residential aged care, community health and mental health services across Brisbane and its surrounds.
