Full Job Description

You want remote... this is remote!

You're probably wondering... where exactly is Kowanyama?

Kowanyama is a very remote Aboriginal community on the western side of Cape York, located along the Mitchell River and surrounded by incredible natural beauty. Life here moves differently. There's no traffic, no shopping centres, and no rushing from place to place. Instead, you'll find a strong sense of community, a short commute, spectacular sunsets, fishing spots locals love, and healthcare work that makes a valuable contribution to the community.

People who do well here are people who come with respect, patience, openness, and a willingness to listen and learn.

About the role

This is not your typical metro renal role.

We're looking for an experienced and grounded Clinical Nurse Consultant - Renal, to support renal services within Kowanyama and surrounding communities. You'll work closely with patients, families, and the broader multidisciplinary team to provide culturally safe, community-based care in a remote primary health care setting.

This role is about more than dialysis and clinical management. It's about relationships, trust, education, advocacy, and helping people manage chronic disease closer to home and community.

You'll play an important role supporting patients through their renal journey while working alongside a passionate remote health team who genuinely care about the community they support.

This role needs someone who:

Has strong renal nursing knowledge and clinical confidence
Can work independently and adapt in a remote setting
Builds genuine relationships with patients, families, and community
Is calm, practical, and solutions-focused
Understands the importance of culturally safe healthcare
Is happy to work collaboratively as part of a multidisciplinary team
Can support education, care coordination, and chronic disease management
Has a sense of humour

Important to know

Remote health is very different to metro health. Things don't always go perfectly to plan, resources can be limited, and flexibility is important. But the trade-off is meaningful work, genuine connection with community, and the opportunity to use your skills to your full scope!

Permanent Role - but let's talk about what works for you

We know committing to a permanent remote role is a big decision, so we're open to having a conversation about what this could look like: Talk to us about options.

What you get

Remote roles should come with real support, and this one does:

Base Salary: $139,951.00 - $151,949.00 per annum
Workplace benefits | Torres and Cape Hospital and Health Service
Accommodation provided
Relocation assistance
Rural Area Remote Nursing Incentive Package (working remote you may find that you have additional time to dedicate to study as well)
5 weeks annual leave
17.5% leave loading
Generous employer superannuation contribution of 12.75%
Salary and benefits | Careers (health.qld.gov.au)
A role where you'll use your full scope of practice and build strong community connections

Before you apply

We're going to be honest - before applying, spend some time looking into remote living. Remote communities are incredibly rewarding places to work, but they're not for everyone, and that's okay. We just want people to come with a realistic understanding of what remote life and work looks like.

Want to have a yarn?

If you're even a little curious, give Priscilla Peart call on (07) 5424 4600 for a confidential chat. We're happy to answer questions, talk honestly about the role and community, and help you decide whether remote health could be the right fit for you.

How do I apply? Applications should be submitted ONLINE via the Smart Jobs and Careers website.
