This is hospital care, delivered differently
Australian Unity HiTH provides hospital-level care to patients in their own homes, supporting people who would otherwise require admission or an extended hospital stay.
This is not traditional community nursing.

Your role will include:
- Acute clinical assessment and monitoring
- Recognising and responding to clinical deterioration
- IV therapies, including IV antibiotics
- Complex wound and post-operative care
- Management of surgical drains and other acute interventions
- Working closely with medical, nursing and allied health teams
Autonomy, with the right support
We’re looking for experienced RNs who are confident making clinical decisions and working independently, while valuing the support of an experienced clinical team.
You'll have the opportunity to take ownership of your patients, use your professional judgement and contribute to an evolving model of out-of-hospital care.
We value experience, clinical curiosity, collaboration and professional respect.
