ABOUT THE ROLE

The Rural Generalist Aboriginal Health Nurse Practitioner/Transitional Nurse Practitioner (NP/TNP) is a site-specific model providing high levels of clinically focused care across a range of services: emergency, inpatient, chronic and complex care and primary care.

The NP/TNP will:

• Provide holistic care to a broad range of acute and chronic presentations across the lifespan to address patient and community needs.
• Receive and make referrals to facilitate integrated care across disciplines or teams and contribute to clinical excellence through research, teaching, consulting and providing leadership to the nursing profession.
• Work autonomously and collaboratively in an advanced and extended nursing clinical role, meeting the clinical demand within their defined and agreed scope of practice and formulary, including patients with chronic and complex care.

• Create culturally safe partnerships to address priority population groups within the Coffs Clinical Network community including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, people living with a disability, people experiencing homelessness or on low incomes, older people and culturally and linguistically diverse groups.
• Coordinate health care activity and referral to, and liaison with, internal and external community agencies and services relevant to their conditions.

The NP/TNP role is grounded in the nursing profession’s values, knowledge, theories and practices and provides innovative and flexible health care delivery that complements other health care providers.
The scope of practice of the nurse practitioner is determined by the context in which the nurse practitioner is authorised to practice.
