Clinical governance, quality, risk and infection prevention roles need a nurse who knows how care is really delivered and can still hold the line on standards. Get the hire wrong and it shows up in incidents, complaints and accreditation.
The problem most providers run into
These roles get advertised under Risk, Quality or Compliance, so the nurses who'd be best at them never see the ad. The applicants you do get often know the frameworks but have never led a clinical team, or they're strong clinicians who have never written a policy that people actually follow.
I look for the nurse who has done both: changed how a team works without the authority to make them, and written it down so it stuck. You can read more about what clinical governance roles involve.
Roles I recruit
- Clinical governance leads and managers

How it works
One brief call, a shortlist within 21 days, usually around two weeks, and a written update every Friday. Senior searches can take longer, and if yours will, I tell you before I start.
Senior and executive appointments, such as a head of clinical governance, are 18 per cent of first year base salary plus super, plus GST, payable within seven days of the person starting. Standard appointments are 15 per cent of first year base salary plus super, plus GST, payable within seven days of the person starting. I confirm which applies when you brief me, and either way you can pay in full or spread the fee over six months interest free. Every placement comes with a six month guarantee: if they leave in that time, I run the search again from scratch at no charge. If the search fails, it costs nothing.
If you're already advertising, keep your ad running. I'll screen those applicants for you at no cost.
Not sure what to pay? My nurse salary guide covers what these roles are advertised at and how to build an offer a nurse will accept.

Common questions
How much does it cost to recruit a clinical governance or quality nurse through Aussie Nurse Recruiters?
15 per cent of first year base salary plus the compulsory super on it for standard appointments, and 18 per cent for senior and executive appointments, plus GST, payable within seven days of the person starting, or over six months interest free. If the search fails, it costs nothing.
How long does it take to hire a clinical governance nurse?
You get a shortlist within 21 days of the brief, usually around two weeks. Most roles are filled within two to four weeks.
Which providers do you recruit for?
Private hospitals, day surgeries, aged care, disability, community and primary care providers, and the companies that supply healthcare.
Do you recruit infection prevention and control nurses?
Yes. Infection prevention roles sit under Quality in most organisations, which is exactly why the right nurses rarely find them. I go to them directly.
