- Partner with consumers, families, and carers to develop and implement goal-focused care plans, ensuring care is respectful, culturally appropriate, and aligned with best practice principles including AIDET communication standards.
- Maintain accurate, timely documentation and data entry in accordance with organisational and legislative requirements, participate in quality improvement activities, and ensure compliance with NSQHS standards, information management, and safety frameworks.
- Actively contribute to multidisciplinary team functions, meetings, and service initiatives; support junior staff and students; and maintain ongoing professional development, registration requirements, and adherence to organisational values, policies, and OHS standards.
