Join us as a Locum Mental Health Registered Nurse and play a crucial role in providing comprehensive care across all divisions of mental health nursing, including community, inpatient, acute, and more. We are seeking dedicated nurses for a minimum 12-week contract in regional and remote locations across Australia. In these dynamic roles, you'll work in varied settings, providing case management, planning patient care, administering medication, collaborating with multidisciplinary teams, and maintaining precise documentation.

Why Choose cmr?

  • Diverse Working Environments : Broaden your experience across various healthcare settings.
