Canberra Allergy is a growing practice dedicated to helping patients understand, manage, and improve their allergic and immunologic conditions. Our GP Allergists work within a broader multidisciplinary network that includes adult and paediatric immunologists, paediatricians, experienced allergy dietitians and specialist allergy nurses. We are committed to providing high-quality, evidence-based and patient-centred care, while fostering collaboration and knowledge-sharing across our network of healthcare professionals.
We are seeking a motivated and compassionate Registered Nurse to join our team and contribute to the continued growth of Canberra Allergy. Previous allergy nursing experience is not essential. We welcome Registered Nurses with general clinical experience who are eager to learn, develop their skills and build a rewarding career in allergy medicine.
About the Role
Working closely with our GP Allergists, nursing team and wider multidisciplinary network, you will play an important role in supporting patients through their allergy assessment, testing, and treatment. You will have opportunities to learn from experienced allergy nurses and other healthcare professionals, develop your clinical knowledge, and build confidence in allergy-specific procedures and patient management. This role may particularly suit a nurse who is looking to broaden their clinical experience, pursue further professional development or, over time, explore opportunities to develop their leadership skills. This is a permanent full-time or part-time position requiring a minimum of four days per week.
Key Responsibilities
- Prepare patients for consultations, allergy testing, and clinical procedures.
- Perform skin prick testing, food challenges and other clinical tasks following appropriate training and competency assessment.
- Monitor patients during and after procedures, recognising and responding appropriately to adverse reactions.
- Support the safe delivery of treatments in accordance with clinical protocols and relevant guidelines.
- Provide clear patient education and support throughout the care journey.
- Maintain accurate clinical documentation and patient records.
- Maintain high standards of infection prevention, equipment safety, and clinical room preparation.
- Assist with clinical stock management and equipment checks.
- Work collaboratively with our GP allergists and broader team to ensure efficient clinic operations.
- Contribute to clinical quality improvement and the ongoing development of practice procedures.
About You
