At SustainHealth, we pride ourselves in supporting remote health services in Australia with quality staff and encouraging new remote area staff with experiences and contracts that will help nurses upskill into Remote Area Nurse (RAN) positions.

We are seek­ing expe­ri­enced and high­ly moti­vat­ed Reg­is­tered Nurs­es for short to long-term con­tracts pro­vid­ing pri­ma­ry health­care ser­vices and emer­gency med­i­cine to remote Abo­rig­i­nal com­mu­ni­ties in the North­ern Ter­ri­to­ry and West­ern Australia.

  • There are flex­i­ble con­tract­ed posi­tions avail­able with FIFO contracts.
  • Start dates will vary depend­ing on loca­tion, and length of availability.
  • In addi­tion, we offer free trav­el to and from con­tract and free accom­mo­da­tion on-site for all contracts. 
As a remote area nurse, you will be respon­si­ble for con­duct­ing patient assess­ments, diag­noses, and treat­ment plans, admin­is­ter­ing med­ica­tions and treat­ments as pre­scribed, pro­vid­ing edu­ca­tion and sup­port to patients and fam­i­lies on health-relat­ed issues, and main­tain­ing accu­rate and up-to-date med­ical records.

A nurse with exist­ing remote area expe­ri­ence is desir­able but will con­sid­er those with emer­gency or pri­ma­ry health nurs­ing expe­ri­ence, but depend­ing on years of expe­ri­ence, you may be eli­gi­ble for a position.

As a min­i­mum, you will need an ALS and Immu­ni­sa­tion Giv­ing cert for these con­tracts and while it is pre­ferred that you have com­plet­ed the Remote Emer­gency Care (REC) or equiv­a­lent, it is not essential.

If you are pas­sion­ate about Abo­rig­i­nal health and mak­ing a dif­fer­ence in the lives of those liv­ing in remote areas AND have the skills and expe­ri­ence we are look­ing for, we encour­age you to apply!

At this time, we can­not offer spon­sor­ship and you will need unre­strict­ed AHPRA reg­is­tra­tion for all roles.
