Nursing Agency Perth: Registered and Enrolled Nurses When Your Roster Needs Them
NHR Staffing Group is a nursing agency based in Perth. We supply registered nurses, enrolled nurses and care workers to aged care homes, disability providers, hospitals and clinics. If you run a roster in Western Australia, we help you keep it covered with people who are checked before they walk through your door.
Why Perth providers use a nursing agency
Rosters in healthcare rarely stay still. Leave, illness, a resident whose needs change, a vacancy that takes longer to fill than planned. A nursing agency Perth providers can rely on gives you a second option when your own pool runs short, without pulling your managers away from care to chase cover.
NHR is a healthcare staffing agency, and healthcare is what we do: nursing, aged care, disability support, allied health and the administration teams that keep services running. We work with providers who need people on the floor and want a straight conversation about who is available and who is suitable.
That matters most when the pressure is on. A Director of Nursing looking at tomorrow's roster and a facility manager planning next month's both need the same thing: a clear answer, a named person and paperwork that is already in order. Using an agency also lets your permanent team stay focused on residents, clients and patients instead of making calls and sorting credentials.
Temporary shifts, block bookings and permanent placements are all part of what we do, so you can match the support to the gap rather than fitting the gap to the service.

Where we operate
Our head office is in Malaga, Perth, and most of our WA work is across metro Perth and regional Western Australia. We also support providers in the Northern Territory, New South Wales and Tasmania, so if your organisation runs sites in more than one state, one agency can work with you across them.
Regional rosters are harder to fill than metro ones. If that is your situation, read how we approach staffing regional healthcare in WA.
How we fill a shift
You brief us.
Tell us the role, setting, dates and any site-specific needs, such as orientation requirements or the resident mix.
We search our books.
We look through our registered professionals for people who suit the brief and the setting.
We verify.
Before anyone is confirmed, we check that their documents and clearances are in place.
We confirm with you.
You get the name of the person and the details of the shift, so your team knows who to expect.
You hear from a person, not a ticket queue. If something changes on the day, you call us and we work the problem.
The brief is the part that makes the biggest difference. The more we know about your site, the better the match: the type of residents or clients, the skills the shift needs, anything a new worker should know before they arrive. Give us that and we can search with it in mind, rather than filling a gap with whoever happens to be free.
Compliance you don't have to chase
Every worker NHR places holds all mandatory compliance checks, including NDIS Worker Screening clearance, a police check, First Aid and Manual Handling. We hold and verify those records, so you don't have to ask for them one worker at a time.
