  • We’re searching for Nurses who can see how small actions make a big impact

What we stand for
With eight clinics and growing across East Arnhem Land, we’re providing health care services for over 6,000 Indigenous residents.

We’d be nowhere without you
Working closely with both our Aboriginal Health Practitioners and Doctors, our Nurses are critical to our patient’s success. You’ll be committed to finding the best way to communicate with patients in order to providing great care and follow up with them in sometimes uncertain circumstances.

In our remote clinics, you’ll be practicing traditional care every day of the week, and having to step up and support on more urgent and complex medical situations when the need arises.

Core aspects of your role include:

• Providing acute and chronic care, and managing the development of care plans for patients
• Prescribing, administering, dispensing and managing stock of pharmaceutical therapies, including vaccines.
• Be willing to share your knowledge, expertise and experience to support both the capability development of your peers and the continuous quality improvement of our clinics
• Supporting our clinics 24 hour requirements on a rotating roster.
