This opportunity may suit an Enrolled Nurse (EN), Registered Nurse (RN), or an experienced Home Care Partner with a strong passion for supporting older Australians in the community.
The successful applicant will inherit an established caseload of approximately 40 clients with varying levels of complexity. We are seeking the right candidate to commence in early December 2026, allowing for a minimum four-week handover period to support a smooth transition and ensure continuity of care for clients.
