About Team National:

Big hearts. Big personalities. Serious about care. (Not always serious about ourselves.)

We're Team National... the proudly family-owned Canberra crew behind National Nursing Agency (1997), National Healthcare Services (2000), National Community Care (2015) and National Inhome Care (2025). With over 25 years of history and a whole lot of heart, we've built our business around two things: PEOPLE and CARE. Whether it's the people we support or the people we employ, we're all about building confidence, creating opportunities and making a meaningful difference.

Honesty, integrity and respect aren't just fancy words on our walls. They're how we show up, look after one another and find the courage to challenge the status quo when something can be done better... And yes, we've collected a few awards along the way. The walls have plaques, the cabinets have trophies, but our biggest flex? Our people. We're hardworking, occasionally a little cheeky, fiercely supportive and genuinely proud of what we do for our Canberra community.

Good humans. Great care. A team worth being part of.

Why Nurses Love Working with Us:

• Flexibility ... but the real kind!!
• 24/7 Community Deployment On-Call Support
