Signed: _____________________________ Dated: ____________________________ Membership agreement There is an agreement between the Australian Medical Services Agency and the Nurse/Midwife to secure work in hospitals/nursing homes and home care. 1. The Nurse/ Midwife is a casual employee of the agency. The agency will pay and complete administrative functions on behalf of the hospital and the Nurse/Midwife who has provided the service. The nurse will need to therefore advise the agency of personal detail changes to enable efficiency with the administrative process. 2. The Nurse or Midwife will complete a timesheet before leaving their shift which will act as an invoice for the hospital and agency. The timesheet will need to be signed from an in - charge hospital representative, and then sent by mail to the agency for payment of the shift. 3. The Nurse/Midwife will inform the agency of their availability for coordination purposes. 4. The Nurse/Midwife has the opportunity to accept or decline the offer of a shift by the agency on behalf of the hospital. 5. On acceptance of a shift the Nurse/Midwife is committed to attending and providing a quality service to the Hospital. If the circumstances change and the Nurse/Midwife cannot attend the shift, the Nurse/Midwife must advise the Agency so that the hospital can be notified immediately. 6. The Nurse/Midwife understands that they must follow the guidelines, directions on protocols, standard of patient care and how it is delivered and comply with OH & S requirements of the hospital. The Nurse/Midwife understands it is their responsibility to practice safely and for updating their annual education and training in CPR, OH&S, Manual Handling and Infection Control. 7. As a casual employee of the AMS agency, there are no entitlements for annual leave, sick leave, and long service leave. The hospitals require we have a professional indemnity policy in place to cover nurses and the hospital. 8. The Nurse/ Midwife needs to wear the AMS uniform of blue scrubs, with non slip - covered shoes and their identification badge. It is the Nurses responsibility to look professional in their appearance as a representative of AMS Nursing Agency. 9. The Nurse/ Midwife will be responsible for their travel expenses to and from the hospital, as well as equipment such as torches, scissors, stethoscopes etc that may be required to carry out your shift. 10. Currency of registration needs to be viewed as an original document when joining the agency. Once received the registration can be viewed on a public register on the APHRA website. So the yearly renewals will then be documented by the agency for legal purposes as per required by the hospitals and work places. If not renewed the Nurse /Midwife will not be able to practice as per the APHRA guidelines. Please inform the agency before your next shift/ within 12 hours if your registration is suspended or cancelled. 11. The Nurse/Midwife must carry their current practicing registration with them to their workplace, as the hospitals have the right to confirm your experience. Hospitals reserve the right to cancel your shift if you are unable to confirm your practicing criteria. 12. The Nurse/Midwife must remain respectful of patient’s confidentiality. Always remain within the law nor be intoxicated with alcohol or any other substance whilst on duty, carrying out your duty in a professional, honest and sincere manner. Please sign the agreement below once all the terms have been read. I____________________________ have read and understand the agreement.
