About the role

The Cancer Registered Nurse plays an important role in improving cancer outcomes for Aboriginal people in our community. This position provides clinical leadership and expertise across the cancer care pathway, including screening, diagnosis, treatment, survivorship and follow-up.

The Cancer Registered Nurse coordinates and monitors patient care, supports patients and families to navigate the health system, and works closely with the Aboriginal Cancer Support Officer for practical and emotional support.
