Who We Are
HCA is more than just a healthcare provider. We’ve built a robust network of services designed to empower healthcare professionals and benefit communities across Australia. From staffing hospitals to providing aged care, disability support, and rural health solutions, HCA is committed to holistic and patient-centred care.
Our ecosystem includes rural and remote opportunities, telehealth services, community nursing, and so much more, ensuring that no matter where your healthcare interests lie, there’s a place for you at HCA.
Are You Seeking a Change?
Healthcare careers can be incredibly rewarding, but they can also be demanding. If you’ve felt overworked or burned out recently, you’re not alone. It’s natural to reach a point where you start asking, “Is it time for a new direction?” Often, all you need is a change of scenery or a shift in focus to reignite your passion.
With HCA, that change is easier than you think. Agency work offers a break from high-stress environments like hospitals or allows you to prioritise yourself through more flexible scheduling. Whether it’s working fewer hours in your preferred settings, exploring unique Rural and Remote placements, or trying telehealth options, our diverse opportunities can help you restore balance without compromising on earning potential.
The Myths Around Agency Nursing
There’s a misconception that agency nursing comes with day-to-day instability, financial insecurity, or that it’s only suitable as a “side job.” These myths couldn’t be further from the truth. Here’s why:
- Block Bookings: Secure regular hours with guaranteed shifts at hospitals or locations of your choice.
- Long-term Contracts: Enjoy the opportunity to build rapport with teams through extended placements in your dream location.
- Competitive Earnings: Agency nurses earn significantly more compared to traditional jobs, giving you financial freedom to work fewer hours and focus on what matters most to you.
Agency life caters to your lifestyle. It’s about rewarding hard work with the flexibility to take control of your schedule and well-being.

Do you see yourself taking a yoga retreat, mastering a new language, or travelling while working? The financial stability and support that HCA provides make these goals attainable.
A Word from Our Brand Ambassadors
Brand Ambassadors Xana and Jess, after many years as agency nurses, joined HCA because they deeply value the opportunities and lifestyle it provides.
Both agree that downtime between placements isn’t an inconvenience but rather a chance to recharge, rediscover hobbies, and spend time with loved ones. With strong planning and management, agency life gives them the work-life harmony many other careers can’t match.
