Every accredited service needs one and the good ones are spread thin. I find IPC nurses with real outbreak and audit experience, not just the certificate.

Who hires IPC nurses

Private hospitals, day surgeries, residential aged care providers, and infection control product suppliers.

What the job involves

Running surveillance, audits and outbreak response, educating staff, advising on policy, and reporting for accreditation.

Why these roles stay open

Demand is high across every setting, experienced IPC nurses are spread across small teams, and titles vary widely from service to service.

How I search

I search across settings and titles, check outbreak and audit experience in detail, and tell candidates plainly what support and authority the role has.

I name a shortlist date in writing before I start, inside 21 days, and you get a written update every Friday.

What it costs

15% of first year base salary plus super, plus GST. Nothing up front and nothing at all if the search fails. Payable within seven days of your new starter beginning, or spread over six months interest free through APay. If they leave within six months for any reason other than redundancy or a change to the role, I run the search again at no charge.
