* Providing health information and assessing symptoms.
* Conducting comprehensive telephone assessments.
* Recommending the appropriate time and place of care.

About You
You are a highly skilled and experienced Registered Nurse, driven by a passion for delivering exceptional virtual care.

* Confidence in applying critical thinking and clinical judgment in high-pressure situations across all age groups and clinical presentations.
* Exceptional communication skills both written and verbal: ability to communicate with compassion and professionalism. You will be interacting with external services and serving vulnerable population groups with high rates of mental health issues, limited English proficiency, elderly and poor health literacy.
* A high affinity with using computer systems, including telehealth platforms, databases, and digital communication tools.
* Enjoy making a difference in a flexible, home-based environment.
* Must be located within Australia.
