When applying for roles with a nursing agency, your resume is more than just a formality — it’s your first impression. At Nursing Solutions Group, we see hundreds of applications across the Illawarra and Shoalhaven each month.
What makes a great resume stand out? It’s not just the qualifications — it’s the way you present your experience, reliability, and care-focused mindset.
Section 1: Tailor It for the Role
Use the job title you’re applying for (e.g. Registered Nurse – Shoalhaven”)
List relevant experience first — clinical, aged care, NDIS, or disability support
Highlight skills like personal care, medication administration, or behaviour support
Avoid generic CVs — personalise your opening statement
Section 2: Use Clear Formatting
Keep it clean and readable (avoid fancy fonts or complex layouts)
Use bold headings for each section: Summary, Skills, Experience, Education, Certificates
2 pages maximum is ideal — quality over quantity
Section 3: Include Key Details We Look For
✅ Availability (e.g. “Weekdays 8–3” or “Available for weekend shifts”)
✅ Transport (e.g. “Own vehicle with full licence”)
✅ Certifications (include expiry dates)
✅ Referees (with current contact details)
Section 4: Bonus Tips for NDIS & Aged Care Roles
Mention your familiarity with care plans or support goals
If you’ve worked with complex needs (e.g. PEG feeding, autism, dementia), say so!
Soft skills matter too: empathy, patience, reliability
Conclusion: Keep It Genuine
You don’t need a perfect resume — you need an honest, relevant one that shows who you are.
We're always happy to help applicants strengthen their resume before applying — so don’t hesitate to reach out.
