A great review for Chad from Mark!

The part that stood out to us was the mention of kindness, respect, and reliable support. In aged care, those things matter every day, especially when teams are stretched.

Thanks for taking the time to share this, Mark. We really appreciate it. 💙

Eliza left Melbourne for a mental health nursing contract in Darwin. The experience gave her far more than a change of scenery.

Love seeing feedback like this come through! 💙

Simbar recently worked with Ella to secure a mental health services contract in the Northern Territory, and from the sound of it, Ella made the whole process feel a little bit easier. And that’s always the goal. 🫡

Men’s Health Week is a good reminder that looking after your health does not have to be complicated.

Move when you can. Eat what fuels you. Check in with your mates. Talk about what’s been sitting heavy.

The small things matter, especially when they help men feel supported, connected, and more comfortable asking for help when they need it.

This week, we’re encouraging the men in our community to book the check-up, start the conversation, and look after themselves with the same care they give to others. 💙

Thinking about staying on a little longer?

Contract extensions are common in mental health agency work, especially when the role is going well, the team still needs support, and the fit feels right on both sides.

If you’re in a Mental Health Nursing contract and wondering what happens next, speak with your consultant. We’ll help you understand your options, including extending your contract or returning to a previous facility.

For Eliza, working with Verus meant genuine communication from the start, clear expectations before placement, and regular check-ins throughout her contract.

A good placement should not feel like something you have to figure out alone.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us, Eliza 💙
