Work on Your Terms, Supported Every Step
You will meet loads of travelling Healthcare Professionals along the way. Our experienced Consultants will work with you to secure your new adventure. Contract lengths can vary, meaning if you want more security, we will work to find you something longer. You dictate the terms.
We are looking for resilient hard-working clinicians who can make the most out of what is sometimes limited.
What We Provide to Set You Up for Success
From day one, Fortis handles the logistics so you can focus on what matters—delivering excellent care. We believe in removing barriers, not creating them.
We are a tendered agency across several major Australian states. Fortis Recruitment is able to offer our nurses priority placement opportunities / contracts across a wide variety of vacancies.
While you are working away from home you may be eligible to claim a portion of your wages tax free. We offer this in house at an unbeatable rate which means you get more of your hard earned money!
We make it easy to stay work-ready and clinically compliant. Our nurses enjoy free access to all core mandatory training modules, allowing you to maintain your certifications and earn valuable CPD points at no extra cost. We handle the reminders and the platform, so you can focus entirely on providing exceptional patient care.
Take the stress out of logistics with our dedicated travel support team. We handle everything from booking your flights and hire cars to organizing high-quality, fully-furnished accommodation. You’ll receive a comprehensive itinerary before every assignment, so your only focus is arriving safely and settling into your new role.
At Fortis, we recognise your value and expertise with some of the most competitive pay scales in the agency market. Beyond our top-tier hourly rates and weekly payroll, you can boost your earnings through our lucrative referral programs and incentive payments. We ensure you are rewarded fairly for the vital work you do.
We cut through the noise with clear, transparent, and timely communication.

We take the time to understand your lifestyle goals and professional aspirations, acting as your personal advocate to secure the best contracts. With a deep understanding of the Australian healthcare landscape, we are dedicated to finding the perfect fit for your skills and your schedule.
Getting to Know You,
to Find Out What You Want...
Skill & Experience
We want a detailed history of your employment experience. This is usually provided via your resume; there may be some additional questions to ask or details to clarify. Our Consultants can offer tips and suggestions on how to make your CV more appealing to Health Service Managers.
There may be questions regarding your training and qualifications, specific areas of healthcare where you aren’t keen to work. We would like to more what you did and did not enjoy about your past workplaces, so we can refine our search.
Contract Details
Is this your very first contract or are you a seasoned Travel Nurse? You may know exactly what you are after, or you may need some guidance…either way, we are here to support your decision making.
What length contract are you looking for? Would you be open to a contract extension? We will be discussing locations; where have you been before, have you heard of any locations from friends or is there somewhere on your bucket list you really want to go.
Who are you travelling with?
Are you travelling solo or is the whole family, including pets, going along with you? This will have a big impact on the locations available and something we will need to know in advance. It all comes down to accommodation and what the health services are able to offer.
Documentation Explained & Collected
Starting agency nursing takes some setup, but your consultant will guide you through it. We break the process down, help organise any required training, track your compliance, and notify you before anything expires.
We’ll collect core mandatory training, advise on any additional requirements based on your role or location, and manage your references—contacting two recent managers to complete them for you.
Options Explored & Submissions
Your Consultant will start exploring the options which may suit your dates and preferences. We will discuss the options in detail and have an open back and forth. You will be submitted to the client(s) for their review. We will only submit you to vacancies we have previously discussed with you.
Payroll & Admin Contact
You will also be contacted by our admin and payroll team for onboarding and safety checklists.
