We are currently offering two unique nursing opportunities for passionate, community-minded professionals who want to make a real and lasting difference. If you are looking for a role where your work truly matters, we would love to hear from you.
Registered Nurse/Practice Nurse

- Clinical triage

You will be walking alongside Aboriginal people and families throughout every stage of their health journey by, contributing to care planning, clinical procedures, referrals and health education, while working collaboratively with GPs, nursing staff and allied health professionals to ensure continuity of care and optimal health outcomes.
At AWAHS, you will use your clinical skills to deliver meaningful, holistic care while working across a diverse primary healthcare environment where no two days are the same.

Outreach Nurse – AWAHS Mobile Health Service
Part Time 2 Days per Week (Tuesday & Thursday)
Based at Glenroy. Outreach services to Benalla & Wangaratta
This is far more than a traditional nursing role. As the Outreach Nurse, you will act as a mobile healthcare provider, educator and trusted community partner, delivering culturally safe and respectful care directly to Aboriginal people living in regional and rural communities.

Health assessments and health checks

Working collaboratively, you will liaise with GPs, hospitals, specialists and other health providers to coordinate care, advocate for clients, and help ensure individuals receive the right care at the right time.
This is a highly rewarding opportunity suited to an experienced nurse who is confident working independently, passionate about improving health outcomes, and committed to building strong, respectful relationships within Aboriginal communities.
