Healthcare Employers in the US and Australia Are Hiring — Check Open Roles Near You

Clinical and direct-care work is organised around rosters. You arrive for handover, pick up a patient or resident list, work through assessments, medication rounds, treatments, mobility and personal care, and document as you go in an electronic health or care record. Shifts are commonly eight, ten or twelve hours, with nights, weekends and public holidays built in. Hospital and aged care work is on-site; home health and community roles add driving between visits, so a licence and a reliable car matter as much as the clinical skill.

Non-clinical healthcare work looks like structured office work with clinical stakes: booking and rebooking appointments, verifying insurance or Medicare details, preparing claims, coding documented encounters, chasing denials and prior authorisations, answering patient calls from a queue, and escalating anything clinical to a practitioner. Tools are usually an electronic health record, a practice-management or billing platform, a phone or ticketing system and spreadsheets.

Setup splits clearly. Reception, ward clerk and intake roles are on-site. Coding, billing, remote scheduling and care coordination are often remote or hybrid, with hours fixed to the clinic's time zone rather than yours. US employers may require residence in a specific state for licensing, tax or privacy reasons; Australian employers often tie remote work to a particular health service or practice group.

The listings further down are sorted along these same clinical and non-clinical lines, so read the roster details in each ad.

• Hospital networks and public health services. US systems recruit through their own career portals; Australian state and territory health departments and local health districts run centralised portals.
• Aged care, residential and long-term care providers. A consistently large source of nursing, personal care and support openings in both countries.
• Home health, community nursing and disability support providers, including NDIS-registered providers in Australia.
• Primary care clinics, GP practices and specialist rooms, hiring reception, practice management, nursing and allied health.
• Staffing, locum and travel agencies, placing clinicians into short assignments, casual shifts and contracts.
• Shift-filling marketplaces and apps for credentialed workers; check how they classify you and who actually pays you.
• Revenue cycle, billing and coding outsourcers, which employ large, often remote, non-clinical teams.
• Insurers, managed care organisations and health funds, hiring for claims, utilisation review, member support and nurse advice lines.
• Pharmacies, pathology and diagnostic imaging providers, for technicians, collectors and administrative staff.

Filter the live openings below by the employer type that matches the hours and setup you want.

Rates change, and Australian award rates are reviewed annually, so check the publication date on whatever page you read and confirm against the written offer. The openings below state their own terms.

1. Pick your track. Decide between a licensed clinical role, a support-care role and a non-clinical administrative role. The documents differ sharply, and one generic resume across all three rarely works.
2. Get credentials in order. In Australia that means current AHPRA registration for regulated professions plus police and working-with-vulnerable-people checks. In the US it means the licence or certification from the relevant state board, remembering that licences do not automatically transfer between states. Confirm on the regulator's own website.
3. Write a resume that leads with evidence. State your registration or licence status, settings worked, patient populations and the clinical or practice systems you have used by name. For non-clinical roles, name the systems, claim types and volumes you have handled.
4. Set up profiles where health employers search: large national job boards, state or territory health recruitment portals for public-sector work, and two or three staffing or locum agencies covering your area.
5. Sort out payment and tax details early. Have the right bank account and tax identifiers ready — a tax file number and superannuation fund in Australia, or the tax forms your US employer requests. If you will contract rather than be employed, get advice from a qualified accountant, not a recruiter.
6. Apply with a short, specific cover note: one paragraph on the setting you have worked in, one on why this employer and roster suit you, and a line on your availability for nights or weekends if the ad mentions them.
7. Track every application with date, contact and roster details so you can compare offers instead of reacting to the first one.

Work through these, then go straight to the live openings below.

• The employer is registered. Check the business registration in the relevant national register, and provider registration or accreditation where care providers are concerned.
• The offer is in writing and names the employing entity, your classification, hours and start date.
• How pay is calculated — hourly, salary, award level or per task — and whether loadings, penalty rates, overtime and travel time are included or extra.
• Who pays you and when. Confirm the pay cycle and method, and that nothing is deducted for training, uniforms, equipment, credentialing or placement. Money should not flow from you to an employer.
• Roster and time zone in writing: shift pattern, nights, weekends, on-call, minimum shift length, and for remote roles which time zone your hours follow.
• Credentialing obligations — who handles renewals, mandatory training and immunisation records, and who pays.
• Independent reviews. Read current employee reviews on a major employer-review site and cross-check against regulator or accreditation findings for the facility.
• Tax and work-rights questions go to the official revenue or immigration agency, or a qualified professional — not the recruiter.
