You’ll be work­ing in a space where your clin­i­cal skills are tru­ly val­ued, your voice mat­ters, and your con­tri­bu­tion direct­ly influ­ences bet­ter out­comes for peo­ple who often fall through the cracks.

The Territory’s unique mix of cul­tures, health chal­lenges, and reform-dri­ven ener­gy makes this a place where nurs­es can thrive, grow, and be part of some­thing big­ger.

These N3 roles are for the Dar­win based Cor­rec­tion­al facil­i­ties, where nurs­es deliv­er com­pre­hen­sive care to a vul­ner­a­ble pop­u­la­tion in a dynam­ic and evolv­ing envi­ron­ment.

With occa­sion­al on-call respon­si­bil­i­ties and no night shifts, this posi­tion sup­ports a healthy work-life bal­ance.

If you’re ready for a chal­leng­ing yet reward­ing role, mak­ing a real dif­fer­ence to health out­comes, we’d love to hear from you.
