FAQs
Questions nurses ask us
How does uPaged work?
uPaged is a healthcare workforce marketplace. You create a free profile once, then browse available shifts and contracts from hospitals and healthcare facilities across Australia. You see the pay rate up front, apply with one tap, and get instantly notified when you are booked - no agency middleman deciding for you.
Do I choose my own shifts?
Yes. You select the shifts, contracts and facilities that suit you - casual, term contracts or even a perm role. You are never allocated work, and you can filter by location, speciality, date and shift length, and more.
How do I get paid?
Pay is transparent and visible before you apply, so you always know your hourly rate. In busy periods pay rates surge, and uPaged Perks can add bonus pay on selected shifts. Wages are paid weekly, unless Same-Day-Pay is requested.
Is joining uPaged free?
Yes - registering and browsing work on uPaged is completely free for nurses. There is no onboarding cost, and you can see available shifts as soon as you sign up. It takes less than 2 minutes to get started.
