Community health nurse: impactful local care & outreach

Melbourne
Albury Wodonga Aboriginal Health Service
Nurse
Posted: 19 June
The role

Two Great Health Careers. One Incredible Organisation.

Join AWAHS and Make a Difference Every Day

At Albury Wodonga Aboriginal Health Service (AWAHS), we are more than a healthcare provider, we are a community.

Every day our teams work alongside Aboriginal individuals, families and Elders to create better health outcomes and stronger futures through connection, respect, culture and genuine care.

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

Full Time position

Based at Glenroy & Wodonga

This exciting role is suited to an experienced Registered Nurse with strong clinical capability and the ability to work both autonomously and within a multidisciplinary team. You will deliver a broad scope of practice including:

  • Clinical triage
  • Health assessments
  • Wound care
  • Medication administration
  • Preventative health interventions

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 health care environment where no two days are the same. You will apply your experience in assessment, treatment and care planning, contribute valuable insights within a supportive multidisciplinary team, and play an active role in improving health outcomes for Aboriginal people and families.

Outreach Nurse – AWAHS Mobile Health Service

Part Time 2 Days per Week (Tuesday & Thursday)

Based at Glenroy. Outreach services to Benalla & Wangaratta

This is 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.

Working from our fully equipped mobile health van, you will travel to Benalla and Wangaratta to provide a range of clinical services including:

  • Health assessments and health checks
  • Chronic disease management
  • Wound care
  • Medication management
  • Preventative health care and education

You will also play a vital role in supporting mental and emotional well‐being, strengthening family and community connections, and assisting community members to access appropriate health and support services.

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.

Location Requirements

Applicants should ideally be based within the Albury–Wodonga region, as the outreach vehicle is housed at our Glenroy site and must be returned there following each outreach day. Applicants residing outside the region are welcome to apply, however, they must be willing and able to travel to Glenroy to commence and conclude each outreach shift.

Why you will enjoy working at AWAHS

  • Make a real impact by improving lives and strengthening community wellbeing
  • Access to salary packaging benefits up to $15,900 tax free
  • Supportive leadership and a collaborative, inclusive team culture
  • Ongoing training, professional development and career progression opportunities
  • Confidential Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for you and your family
  • Be part of a growing organisation with exciting future developments across the Border region

If you are passionate about improving health outcomes, value working in a supportive and culturally respectful environment, and want to be part of something bigger than just a job, we encourage you to apply and become part of the AWAHS journey.
