When Jayda took on an 8-week short-term nursing contract in Kalgoorlie, Western Australia with Talent Quarter, she knew it would be an adventure - but she didn’t realise just how memorable the experience would become. Working with WACHS (WA Country Health Service), Jayda embraced the opportunity to step outside her comfort zone and immerse herself in regional healthcare.

Discovering Kalgoorlie

For Jayda, one of the standout highlights was getting stuck in and learning about the culture and history of the town. “Visiting the Super Pit and seeing the sheer size of it was incredible,” she shared. “It really puts things into perspective.” Regional contracts offer more than just professional growth - they create space for genuine exploration and connection with communities many people may never otherwise experience.

Support Every Step of the Way

Jayda described her experience working with Talent Quarter as seamless from start to finish. “Onboarding with my agent went smoothly, and her communication was great. We video called before the contract so she could explain everything clearly, and she was always accessible during the placement if I needed anything.” That ongoing support can make all the difference when stepping into a new environment, especially in regional or rural settings.

Why Regional and Rural Nursing?

Jayda is a strong advocate for nurses considering regional contracts. “I would definitely recommend regional and rural nursing to others. It allows you to build experience and see all different types of presentations. These contracts often cover a wide area, so you get exposure to a bit of everything.” Beyond the clinical experience, it’s also about the adventure. “You get to go to places you may not have ever planned to visit before. I’m so glad I did it — it’s an experience I’ll cherish forever.”

Her Advice?

“Just do it! Round up a nursing buddy - or even a furry friend 🐕 - and go explore regional and rural Australia.”

For Jayda, the leap was more than worth it. It was a professional and personal experience that expanded her skills, broadened her perspective, and created lifelong memories.
