Your oppor­tu­ni­ty

This includes assess­ment, diag­no­sis, plan­ning, imple­men­ta­tion and eval­u­a­tion of care for patients in a rural/​remote set­ting. The NP will have the author­i­ty to order and inter­pret diag­nos­tic tests, pre­scribe phar­ma­co­log­i­cal and non-phar­ma­co­log­i­cal ther­a­pies, and pro­vide direct refer­ral to oth­er health­care pro­fes­sion­als. The NP will work with mul­ti­dis­ci­pli­nary teams to pro­vide holis­tic care to clients in acute, com­mu­ni­ty and pri­ma­ry care set­tings with­in the Charleville group but pre­dom­i­nant­ly in Cunnamulla.

Trav­el across SWHHS maybe required and work both day and evening shifts as rostered.

The very nature of what we do and who we are is the real oppor­tu­ni­ty. Pro­vid­ing health care in the bush is full of chal­lenges, how­ev­er, it remains the most reward­ing of human experiences.

Cun­na­mul­la is a des­ig­nat­ed Remote Area Nurs­ing Incen­tive Pack­age (RANIP) site in accor­dance with the Nurs­es and Mid­wives (Queens­land Health) Award – State 2015. This attracts addi­tion­al enti­tle­ments which may include:

  • An annu­al iso­la­tion bonus paid annually!
  • Return air­fares to the near­est provin­cial city in con­junc­tion with leave!
  • Addi­tion­al annu­al leave per annum!

Please note: Fringe Ben­e­fits Tax (FBT) impli­ca­tions may apply, it is rec­om­mend­ed that indi­vid­u­als seek inde­pen­dent finan­cial advice.

If you are look­ing for a sea change, you might find your home away from home in the out­back town of Cun­na­mul­la. Surf­ing the sand dunes, relax­ing in the arte­sian springs near­by, hav­ing a mud­bath at Eulo, explor­ing nation­al parks and fish­ing the War­rego riv­er are all on the agen­da in this red dirt out­back escape.
