About Us
Nepean Blue Mountains Local Health District (NBMLHD) is a wonderful place to expand your career and grow your skills and knowledge. As a recognised leader in the healthcare industry, we provide a range of public health services to the Nepean and Blue Mountains and Lithgow Region.
NBMLHD Community Mental Health offer a range of specialised services for children, young people, families and older people, through our community-based services and health centres. Our multidisciplinary health professionals and case managers take a collaborative approach to mental health care by linking with their patients to work together and consult within an environment appropriate to the person's needs.
The Access registered nurse is responsible for the provision of triage, comprehensive assessment, acute and assertive outreach services to clients and their families to ensure that clients receive the least restrictive treatment options. This involves provision of acute care interventions and follow up of clients recently discharged from inpatient services and to clients presenting to the service who have been assessed as needing acute care services. In addition, the development of collaborative treatment plans with the person and their family or carer is integral to this role. The successful incumbent will work collaboratively with other members of the multidisciplinary Access team and inpatient and community-based services.
The treatment and support provided by the registered nurse should reflect best available evidence and emphasise positive outcomes for clients. The Acute Team clinician will be instrumental in providing support and information to the person, their family, and carers, and education to the wider community. We invite you to share your skills and expertise in shaping the success of your local health community. Apply Today
