Registered Nurse and Registered Midwife (Acute and Sub-acute) - Fixed Term and Casual Employment Register

About our Employment Registers:

Welcome, and thank you for your interest in this Employment Register.

Our Registers are for use by non-employees.  Current employees should lodge their interest for additional hours/duties on the intranet Expression of Interest page.

Registers provide a mechanism to recruit to casual vacancies.  They may also be used to fill short, fixed term vacancies where normal recruitment processes are not practicable.

For permanent and more lengthy fixed term vacancies, please look at the individual advertisements on www.jobs.tas.gov.au.

This Register will remain open until 30 June 2026 and will be reviewed on a regular basis.

Please note a fixed-term and casual employment register is not a vacancy and inclusion on a register does not guarantee any offer of employment will be made.

This Register:

Re-Fresher Program - Midwives

A new incentive to support experienced midwives who have had some time away but would like to rejoin the profession can now access Midwifery Incentives through People and Culture. If you have Aphra registration and require support to return to practice, you can now access a subsidised re-fresher program through to the online Australian College of Midwives package (to be completed prior to commencement) and 152 hours of supported practice to support and welcome you back into the profession.  As part of the Refresher program, you will develop an individualised learning plan and have identified supervisors to support your professional objectives.  At the completion of your hours, you will continue to be supported for a twelve month period and assessed for change of employment status to permanent in accordance with clause 12. of Employment Direction No.1.

For more information on applying for the Refresher Program, and other benefits of working with the Department of Health Tasmania, please contact the office of the Chief Nurse and Midwifery Officer (OCNMO) at oncm@health.tas.gov.au
