Let's talk about you!
You're a compassionate and capable nurse who understands the impact early support can have on a child's future. You bring calm clinical judgement, genuine curiosity, and a commitment to working alongside families in a respectful and empowering way. Whether you're visiting a home, guiding a parent, or collaborating with colleagues, you take pride in making a meaningful difference every day. You lead with integrity, embrace learning, and value teamwork that uplifts both community and colleagues.

Current registration as a Registered Nurse with AHPRA and a relevant practising certificate
Postgraduate qualification in Child and Family Health
Strong clinical assessment skills and a commitment to evidence-based, community-focused care
Excellent communication skills with the ability to build trust and work collaboratively
