When patient care is on the line, you need a partner who can act fast - without compromising safety, qualifications or quality.

Client Overview

A long-standing, nationwide healthcare client requiring Registered Nurses across acute, community and specialist services. Operating across multiple states with high demand and strict qualification requirements, they rely on MAYDAY Healthcare for critical resourcing support - including rapid response coverage during peak periods and roster gaps.

The Challenge

The client urgently required assistance covering 54 Registered Nursing shifts across NSW, VIC and QLD - all within two weeks, but ideally sooner.

What was at stake:

• Continuity of patient care
• Risk of service disruption
• High pressure on internal teams
• Clinical compliance

Key challenges included:

• Time pressure: immediate resourcing with no lead time
• Multi-state logistics: different availability, different rosters
• Tight compliance: police checks, AHPRA, vaccinations, training
• Market saturation: RN shortages across all three states
• Candidate readiness: nurses needed to be shift-ready instantly

It required a partner who could deliver at speed, scale and absolute accuracy.

Our Approach

The moment the request came in, MAYDAY Healthcare activated our national rapid response model: mobilising resourcing, compliance and candidate management within minutes.

Our approach included:

• Mobilising national talent network: we tapped into our live pool of pre-vetted, fully credentialed RN talent across multiple states.
• Compliance at speed with appropriate checks: we coordinated all checks — AHPRA, police, vaccination evidence — with zero delays.
• Targeted matching & fast coordination: our team matched nurses to shifts based on immediate availability, location, speciality and experience level. Every candidate was confirmed and shift-ready within 24 hours.
• Clear, real-time communication: We maintained continuous updates with both the client and RNs on shift confirmations, compliance status, onboarding and schedule changes. This ensured a completely smooth, stress-free deployment.
  

The Impact

• 54 nursing shifts filled within 24 hours
• 100% compliance across all placements
• 0 missed shifts or disruptions
• 3 states serviced: NSW, VIC & QLD

Beyond filling shifts, we helped stabilise their service delivery, protect frontline teams and maintain continuity of patient care.
