Seasonal factors such as the winter influenza places demands on hospital emergency departments and in-patient areas and therefore alters the number of nursing positions required to meet patient need. In some of the country locations, such as the Kimberley and Pilbara Gascoyne, there is a high staff turnover, due the harsh climate and remoteness and the need to employ transient clinical staff, those who have elected to have a working holiday and therefore usually only accept short term or temporary contracted work. In other regions, such as the Wheatbelt and Great Southern, some of the nursing staff do not wish to be either part time or full time permanent employees as they wish to the have the personal flexibility to only work when they wish to, as a casual employee. The local hospitals are often reliant on these staff to form part of the core 24-hour roster coverage. This same group of casual nursing staff is also called upon when additional staffing is required to meet increased clinical demand.

Seasonal factors such as the winter influenza places demands on hospital emergency departments and in-patient areas and therefore alters the number of nursing positions required to meet patient need. In some of the country locations, such as the Kimberley and Pilbara Gascoyne, there is a high staff turnover, due the harsh climate and remoteness and the need to employ transient clinical staff, those who have elected to have a working holiday and therefore usually only accept short term or temporary contracted work. In other regions, such as the Wheatbelt and Great Southern, some of the nursing staff do not wish to be either part time or full time permanent employees as they wish to the have the personal flexibility to only work when they wish to, as a casual employee. The local hospitals are often reliant on these staff to form part of the core 24-hour roster coverage. This same group of casual nursing staff is also called upon when additional staffing is required to meet increased clinical demand.

The number of all health professional positions varies due to changes in clinical demand. The number of nursing staff required to meet hospital needs is governed by the Nursing Hours per Patient Day (NHpPD) workload management model. The model identifies the number of nurses required based on bed occupancy and the profile of the patients in those beds.
Seasonal factors such as the winter influenza places demands on hospital emergency departments and in-patient areas and therefore alters the number of nursing positions required to meet patient need.
In some of the country locations, such as the Kimberley and Pilbara Gascoyne, there is a high staff turnover, due the harsh climate and remoteness and the need to employ transient clinical staff, those who have elected to have a working holiday and therefore usually only accept short term or temporary contracted work.
In other regions, such as the Wheatbelt and Great Southern, some of the nursing staff do not wish to be either part time or full time permanent employees as they wish to the have the personal flexibility to only work when they wish to, as a casual employee. The local hospitals are often reliant on these staff to form part of the core 24-hour roster coverage. This same group of casual nursing staff is also called upon when additional staffing is required to meet increased clinical demand.
