Make a Meaningful Difference

This is more than a nursing role - it’s an opportunity to provide deeply meaningful care while building strong relationships with patients, families, Aboriginal partners, and local health services.

Alongside the professional and personal rewards of rural healthcare, eligible nurses can earn more through the Rural Health Workforce Incentive Scheme – receiving up to $10,000 in the first 12 months and up to $10,000 each year thereafter through fortnightly payments.

Offering both challenge and opportunity, this role is ideal for clinicians with palliative care experience who are looking to further develop their specialist skills while making a genuine impact within rural communities.

While working independently, you’ll be backed by a strong regional network, receiving guidance from a Clinical Nurse Consultant, comprehensive orientation, and access to ongoing education and professional development to support your continued growth.

In this role, you will:

• Deliver holistic palliative and end-of-life care in the community
• Support symptom management and advance care planning
• Travel for outreach visits across surrounding communities
• Provide culturally safe, respectful care for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples
• Work collaboratively with multidisciplinary teams including OTs, social workers, oncology specialists, dietitians, and community nurses

Please note: Due to the level of clinical autonomy and complexity involved, previous palliative care experience is essential, and this role is not suitable for new graduates.

Supported, Rewarded and Valued

At Hunter New England Health, you’ll enjoy the benefits of rural practice while being supported to thrive professionally and personally.

Why join us?

• Rural Health Workforce Incentive Scheme – receive up to $10,000 in your first 12 months, plus up to $10,000 annually thereafter through fortnightly payments*
