Mental Health Registered Nurse | Christmas Locum Contracts Across Australia

$73–$181/hr + super | Travel & accommodation | Contract bonuses | 8–12 week contracts

MAKE THIS CHRISTMAS ONE TO REMEMBER!

Ready for a change of scenery? Imagine spending Christmas somewhere new, exploring beautiful coastal towns, discovering historic regional destinations and enjoying a little adventure between shifts – all while earning excellent money!

cmr is seeking experienced Mental Health Registered Nurses with acute inpatient experience for locum opportunities across Australia.

With 8–12 week contracts available, travel and accommodation support and opportunities over Christmas and into the New Year, there's never been a better time to explore locum nursing.

But don't leave it too late! Many health services are releasing their final agency nursing requirements for 2026, so these could be some of the last opportunities to secure a contract before the New Year.

What's in it for you?

• $73–$181/hr + super, depending on level
• Travel and accommodation support
• 8–12 week contracts
• Coastal locations, beautiful historic towns and regional destinations
• Christmas and New Year contract opportunities
• Additional contract bonuses and incentives
• Christmas competitions and festive giveaways
• Dedicated support from cmr's specialist Mental Health Nursing team
• Access to opportunities through cmr's Tier 1 health service partnerships
