Your opportunity

The Aged Care Nurse Practitioner will practice both autonomously and collaboratively within the multidisciplinary team.

The Nurse Practitioner role includes clinical leadership, diagnosis, therapeutic management and evaluation of people in the aged care setting, using nursing knowledge and skills which may include, but not limited to, the direct referral of consumers to other health care professionals, prescribing medications and ordering diagnostic interventions.

The position supports SWHHS strategic objectives by supporting people to optimise their health and achieve their goals of care, while delivering high quality services that benefit the community.

The very nature of what we do and who we are is the real opportunity. Providing health care in the bush is full of challenges, however, it remains the most rewarding of human experiences.
