Providing proficient clinical nursing/midwifery care and individual case management to Aboriginal people in the community setting, you will assess clients’ needs and plan, implement and coordinate appropriate service delivery options.

Demonstrating a thorough knowledge of Aboriginal health issues, you will have the ability to work effectively within a multidisciplinary team and with the community. This will be evident in your ability to prioritise workload and meet set timelines, whilst working under minimal supervision. A confident communicator, you will be able to be creative, innovative and flexible when approaching issues within the healthcare setting.
