Following a distinguished nursing career spanning several decades, Gina’s passion for the industry and her commitment to addressing the shortage of highly skilled nurses became the driving force behind Global Network Recruitment, which she established alongside her husband Alan in 2006. 

Gina’s journey began in the Philippines, where she earned her nursing degree before embarking on a life changing move to Australia in 1974. Since then, she has honed her expertise through diverse experiences both in public and private hospitals, within intensive care and cardiothoracic units, leaving an indelible mark in the field.    

Throughout her career, Gina has held a range of managerial and administrative positions within hospital systems, witnessing first hand the pressing need for qualified nurses at all levels, as well as the challenges faced by healthcare organisations in attracting and retaining exceptional talent. 

Motivated by her experiences, Gina developed a solution that would bridge the gap between organisations and skilled nursing professionals.

Client feedback

I have been working with Global Network Recruitment for almost 10 years now. The team behind this company are friendly and very professional. They provide me with shifts that are close to my home and they understand the flexible hours that I need to balance family time and work. Pay rates they offer are competitive for nurses. 
Cher Huang

I have been fortunate to be a part of the Global Network Recruitment team for a few years. I am a mum with young children, and working as an agency nurse allows me to balance being at home with my family while contributing my nursing skills and growing as a professional. The diversity of providing the best quality care to patients and clients in hospitals across Sydney makes this job fulfilling as my nursing skills have significantly improved. Working in regular hospitals allows for collaboration with staff and provides a great sense of teamwork. Global Network Recruitment has always strived to provide understanding and support while motivating the team to seek knowledge and expertise.
