• Education and professional support through the Nurse Practitioner Network and its established education framework.
• Emergency Stream education sessions, including the EMET program.
• Learning resources through CIAP (Clinical Information Access Portal).
• Networking, education and skills development opportunities across the Local Health District.

This is an excellent opportunity for an Emergency Nurse Practitioner looking for autonomy, variety and professional growth, while being part of a supportive rural team with experienced Nurse Practitioners who understand the role and are invested in its continued development.

About you

We’re looking for a confident, adaptable and clinically capable Nurse Practitioner who enjoys working collaboratively while bringing strong independent clinical judgement to the role.

You will bring:

• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to engage respectfully with people from diverse backgrounds.
• A collaborative approach and confidence working alongside GPVMOs, nursing staff and other members of the multidisciplinary team.
• Strong clinical assessment, decision-making and problem-solving skills.
• A commitment to ongoing professional development and evidence-based practice.
• A friendly, proactive attitude and willingness to contribute to all aspects of the ED.
