Nahrls

NAHRLS was established by the Australian Government to support nurses, midwives and allied health professionals in rural and remote Australia to take leave from their work for up to 14 days. Over the past twelve months NAHRLS placements have increased threefold with 1213 completed nursing and midwifery placements and 103 completed allied health pla... cements as at 30 June 2013. Efficient and cost-effective recruitment processes have allowed remote health centres using the NAHRLS locum service to save money and administration time, thereby allowing them to focus on providing quality patient care. Mark Ellis, NAHRLS General Manager, said "Extending the programme ensures that our experienced locums continue to make it possible for health professionals in rural and remote areas of Australia to take leave with the confidence that the organisation and the wider community won't suffer during their absence. The value to the health centre lies in a proven model that allows the facility to continue providing an appropriate level of service without having to compromise on service delivery due to having to absorb third party costs such as transport, accommodation or agency fees and charges." The NAHRLS program is administered on behalf of DoHA by Aspen Medical, the Australian-owned global healthcare solutions company who specialise in tailor-made solutions in remote, challenging and under-resourced environments. Glenn Keys, Managing Director of Aspen Medical Pty Ltd said, "We are delighted that the Australian Government has extended the NAHRLS program. This shows that the program works and that the Aspen Medical team has delivered yet another results-driven solution to a healthcare challenge."
