The nurses' association has negotiated an agreement to keep up to 50 employees from an Albion Park nursing home in their jobs in the lead up to Christmas.

Staff at Daintree Aged Care recently received notice they would have to reapply for their jobs under new terms and conditions.

Nurses' association spokesman Steve Hurley says the agreement was reached after the case was taken to the Industrial Relations Commission and will ensure the entitlements and conditions of the employees will be protected.

"From here on in there will be process of consultation between the New South Wales Nurses Association and Daintree Aged Care about any restructuring which may or may not need to take effect at the facility," he said.
