About the Role: Rehabilitation, Aged and Community Services (RACS) is a vibrant division within Canberra Health Services delivering multidisciplinary rehabilitation, aged, and community-based care across Canberra Hospital, Community Health Centres, and the Village Creek Centre in Kambah. Within RACS, the Community Care Program (CCP) is a key service made up of Nursing and Allied Health clinicians supported by dedicated administrative teams, providing care either in clinic settings or in clients’ homes based on individual needs.
In this role, you will work closely with people and their carers to build skills and confidence, supporting independence and self-management.
