Locum nurses & midwives in Perth.

Typical nurses & midwives rates run from $50 to $160 per hour. Perth metro rates sit in the upper band because demand is deep, and after-hours and weekend loading stack on top. Sessional compares your per-shift yield across agencies and direct Perth workplaces so an under-priced contract surfaces fast.

AHPRA registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia is the national base. In Western Australia that sits alongside a Working with Children Check from the WA Department of Communities (paid $87.00, valid 3 years) when your role involves children. WorkCover WA covers workers compensation; confirm contractor cover before your first shift. Sessional tracks every credential expiry in one vault.

Sessional is source-agnostic. Agency bookings, direct-to-workplace engagements, hospital bank pools, and percentage-of-billings arrangements across Perth live in one ledger. The PSI diagnostic runs across all sources combined, so the 80 per cent rule exposure is visible across your whole portfolio rather than per agency, with GST classification and ATO cents-per-km tracking on top.

Sessional applies the Nurses Award 2020 penalty structure (weekend, night, public holiday, overtime) to every shift from the start and end times you enter, with WA public holidays pre-loaded. When an agency statement lands it reconciles the expected penalty-loaded amount against what was actually paid and flags any under-payment within 48 hours of the shift date.
