Every day, our team works alongside Aboriginal people and families to improve health outcomes, close the gap and support stronger futures. We have built a proud reputation for delivering holistic healthcare to our community on the Border for many years.
You will be involved in a variety of family medicine including triage, health assessments, chronic disease care, preventative care and supporting patients through their healthcare journey. Working alongside GPs, nurses and a supportive multidisciplinary team, you will play an important role in care planning, referrals, procedures, wound care and health promotion.
This is a role where your clinical skills meet purpose. Where care goes beyond symptoms, and you play a key part in supporting whole-of-person wellbeing, mind, body and spirit.

- Be the first point of support for clients, coordinating urgent GP appointments and managing waitlists with empathy and professionalism
- Work collaboratively with GPs, allied health and external providers to ensure clients receive seamless, quality care
- Provide hands-on nursing support including wound care, diagnostic procedures, chronic disease management and health assessments
- Assist with medication management and initial emergency presentations
- Support health promotion and preventative programs across all ages, from children to Elders
What We Are Looking For
We would love to hear from you if you are:
- An AHPRA Registered Nurse with a minimum of 2 years post graduate experience
- Skilled in wound management, chronic disease care and health assessments
- Passionate about health promotion, prevention and community wellbeing
- Able to thrive in a fast-paced, team environment where collaboration matters
- Strong interpersonal skills, integrity and excellent time management
- Understanding of health issues impacting Aboriginal people
