The Australian Government has established the Nursing & Allied Health Rural Locum Scheme (NAHRLS) to support nurses, midwives and allied health professionals in rural and remote Australia to get away on leave.
The NAHRLS can provide your workplace with a suitably matched locum to back-fill positions for up to 14 days. There are NO AGENCY FEES charged to use this service, the hosting organisation is only responsible for covering the base locum wage for the period during which the locum is required.
The NAHRLS organises all the administration associated with recruiting and credentialing appropriate locums and arranges and pays the locum's travel, accomodation, meals and incentives payments whilst on placement.
Organisations can also apply to use this scheme for their staff. Read more HERE.

The Nursing and Allied Health Rural Locum Scheme (NAHRLS) has placed or is about to place over 400 locums since its official launch in July 2011.

Issue 1, February 2012 also keeps you up-to-date on the latest news and upcoming events. Check it out here!
