FPRS is proud to forge a new partnership with Healthcare Australia's Primary Health Services — and we're hiring! 🌟

We're on the search for multiple Registered Nurses across three specialisations to join HCA's Primary Health Services team, delivering frontline health care across the immigration detention network in Melbourne, Villawood (Sydney) and Brisbane.

These are identified positions, open exclusively to Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander peoples.

We're looking for multiple positions across:
🏥 Registered Nurse — Alcohol & Other Drugs (AOD)
🧠 Registered Nurse — Mental Health
💚 Registered Nurse — Primary Health Care

What makes this work genuinely different?

This is a nurse-led model — you'll have real clinical autonomy and see a breadth and variety of presentations you simply won't encounter in a standard hospital or community health setting. The work is busy and stimulating, but with a different rhythm to acute care.

And the humanitarian dimension is real. You'll be caring for a vulnerable and often overlooked population — people from many different countries and backgrounds, navigating incredibly complex circumstances. For our mob in health, that cross-cultural richness lands differently. You know what it means to move between worlds, and that lived understanding is genuinely valued here.

What's on offer:
✔ Salary packaging
✔ Free Employee Assistance Program
✔ Discounts and perks
✔ Free onsite parking
✔ Work that genuinely matters

We are incredibly proud to celebrate our very own Marisa Conlon, who has been recognised as a Top 5 Finalist for Recruitment Consultant of the Year at the 2025 SEEK Annual Recruitment Awards (SARAs).

This category is one of the most competitive in the industry, representing standout consultants from agencies across Australia. To be recognised in the Top 5 nationally is an extraordinary achievement and a true reflection of Marisa’s dedication, cultural leadership, and the impact she delivers every day.

As a proud Wakka Wakka/Kabi Kabi woman, Marisa champions culturally informed recruitment grounded in respect, empowerment and representation. She holds space for candidates, builds trust with clients, and delivers outcomes that create impact far beyond a single placement.

There may not have been a trophy, but excellence has many forms. This recognition highlights the values, capability and results Marisa brings to our team, to our clients and to the sector.

We also extend our thanks to SEEK for hosting an incredible event and for celebrating high standards across our industry. It’s inspiring to see recruitment excellence recognised at a national level.

Congratulations, Marisa — a finalist among the best in Australia, and exactly where you deserve to be.

🌿 Cultural safety in the workplace isn’t optional—it’s essential. 🌿
When people feel respected, valued, and safe to bring their whole selves to work, they can contribute fully and thrive. Cultural safety is more than awareness—it’s about action.

✅ It’s creating spaces where diverse voices are genuinely heard.
✅ It’s embedding respect for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures into everyday practices.
✅ It’s recognising and challenging unconscious bias.
✅ It’s ensuring policies, leadership, and workplace behaviours reflect inclusivity.

Cultural safety doesn’t happen once a year at an event or acknowledgement—it’s built every day in the way organisations listen, learn, and lead.
