CHC was built on the belief that aged care nursing deserves a recruiter who takes it seriously. Not a generalist with a database, but a specialist who understands the field, knows the Tasmanian market, and takes the time to get placements right.
Aged care nursing is one of the most demanding fields in healthcare, and one of the most under-served by generic recruitment. Facilities across Tasmania were struggling to find nurses who actually wanted to stay, and nurses were being pushed into roles that didn’t suit them by agencies that didn’t take the time to ask.
Community Health Connect was founded to change that. By working in one speciality and one place, we can do what a generalist can’t: understand the facilities well enough to match to culture, and know the nurses well enough to match to life.
Anyone can forward a CV. Getting the right person into the right role takes time, local knowledge and a genuine understanding of what “right” means for that particular facility and that particular nurse.
Credentials, registration, references and suitability are confirmed before anyone reaches a shortlist. No surprises later.
We talk to facilities about what they actually need, not just the job description. We talk to nurses about their life, not just their CV.
From the Hobart suburbs to the north west coast, we understand the Tasmanian aged care landscape because it’s all we work in.
We sit between two groups of people who both deserve to be treated well in the recruitment process.
Operators, managers and HR teams who need nurses who fit their team and their residents — and who will stay. We work with facilities of all sizes across Tasmania, from independent operators to multi-site providers.
For FacilitiesRegistered and enrolled nurses, clinical leads and nurse leaders looking for permanent or contract roles in aged care across Tasmania. We take the time to understand what you want, then find roles that genuinely fit.
For NursesWe hold all appropriate licences and insurances for operating as a recruitment agency in Australia. Every candidate we place has been AHPRA-verified, reference-checked and assessed for suitability — not just availability.
Community Health Connect is a proudly Tasmanian business. We live and work here, which means we understand the market, the geography and the community in a way that an interstate agency simply can’t.
Whether you run a facility or you’re a nurse looking for your next role, we’d love to hear from you.
