ABOUT US

Monash Health Public Health & Community proactively supports our community to improve and maintain health, independence and well-being by coordinating and/ or providing integrated, multidisciplinary care across multiple settings within the local community. Our aim is to empower and prepare clients to self-manage their health and health care. Working with clients across the aged spectrum, Monash Health Community provides a continuum of care, supporting clients through all stages of non-acute care from prevention through to rehabilitation. We provide services that support clients in their homes, community-based facilities and dedicated Monash Health Community hubs.

The Nurse Practitioner Candidate/Nurse Practitioner supports our current model of care where exacerbations of chronic conditions are minimised, prevented and/or managed in the community through responsive, integrated person-centred care. This role will work across the Emergency Department and Community to divert people from the Emergency Department and reduce inpatient stay. People with specialist knowledge in Chronic Heart Failure and Chronic Respiratory Disease are encouraged to apply. The program utilises a combination of time spent within the Emergency Department, clinics and an assertive outreach model that includes home visits as appropriate to clients residing within the Monash Health catchment.
