Ace Your Nursing Agency Interview with These Tips

Whether you're applying as a Registered Nurse, Disability Support Worker, or in another care role, your interview with a nursing agency is your chance to show more than just your qualifications. At Nursing Solutions Group, we're looking for people who genuinely care about those who understand how to support residents and participants with respect and empathy.

To help you walk in feeling confident and prepared, we’ve pulled together some practical tips.

Virtual Meeting

Before the Interview

• Learn about us: Check out our website and social media to understand what we do.

• Know the role: Whether it’s a Support Worker position in Shoalhaven or an RN role in Illawarra, be clear on what you’re applying for.

• Understand our values: We focus on person-centred care, reliability, and trust. Think about how you align with those.

• Reflect on your ‘why’: Why do you want to work in community care, with the NDIS, or in aged care? Write down a few key points.

Nursing Agency Interview Tips & Common Questions

Here are a few things we often ask:

• “Can you share an example of handling a challenging behaviour or situation?”

• “How do you approach personal care with respect?”

• “Have you administered medication or managed wound care?”

• “What steps do you take to preserve a participant’s dignity?”

Tip: Use the STAR method—Situation, Task, Action, Result, to structure your answers.

What to Bring

• A printed resume

• Certificates and background checks (bring hard copies or digital versions)

• A few questions for us

• If your interview is online: check your Zoom link, lighting, and background beforehand.

What Stands Out to Us

• Clear, respectful communication

• Real-life examples of how you’ve supported someone

• A good grasp of what person-centred care looks like in action

• Bonus points if you explain how you handle transport, shift flexibility, or participant preferences

Final Thought

Interviews don’t have to be intimidating. We want you to do well. Show up prepared, speak from the heart, and let your care for others come through. That’s what matters most.
