We recruit registered nurses, enrolled nurses, clinical nurses, mental health nurses, midwives and nursing leaders for roles with health services, clinics and Aboriginal Community-Controlled Organisations.

We work with local providers every day and have strong relationships across the Territory. This helps us understand their workforce needs and match you with the right role, service and location.

Opportunities are available across urban areas, regional towns and remote communities, where you can support diverse communities, build broad clinical experience and see the difference your care makes.
