Nurses, tell us what happens after hours and what support would make a difference

Are you a registered nurse working afternoons, evenings, nights or weekends in residential aged care?

We want to hear from you.

When a resident becomes unwell after hours, you’re often the one making critical decisions, coordinating care, supporting residents and families, and navigating available services. We want to better understand what it’s really like on the ground.

Tell us what works well. Tell us what’s challenging. Tell us what support you need.

As part of the Strengthening After-Hours Support for Residential Aged Care Homes project, Healthy North Coast is gathering real-world experiences from RNs across the region. We want to learn about the situations you manage after hours, how easily you can access clinical advice, medical support and medications, and where the gaps and frustrations are.

Your insights will help shape practical resources, clearer escalation pathways and stronger after-hours support for residential aged care homes.

There are two ways to get involved:

• Complete our short RN after-hours survey.
• Share a recent after-hours situation you’ve managed.

You can do either or both. Providing your name is completely optional.

Your voice matters. Your experience matters. Help us build after-hours support that works for nurses.

Complete the above RN Survey and/or share an After Hours Scenario for your chance to win a $100 gift voucher.

You can receive:

• 1 entry for completing the RN Survey
• 1 entry for submitting one or more After Hours Scenarios

Maximum of two entries per after-hours registered nurse.

To enter the prize draw, provide your name and email address with your response. Your contact details will be used only for the draw and kept separate from your survey responses.

Entries close 13 November 2026. The winner will be drawn at random and notified by email.
