Your opportunity

If you are an Enrolled Nurse (EN) and seeking a rural and remote experience, this opportunity is for you.

The Enrolled Nurse (EN) provides nursing services within the Dirranbandi Multipurpose Health Service under direct or indirect supervision of registered nurse/midwives to provide meaningful person-centred care in the health service.  Successful EN's must demonstrate competence in the provision of nursing care in an acute and chronic care environment.

The laid back life style of this unique border town provides a true escape from the bustling city life. While Mungindi's population is relatively small, this wheat, cotton, wool, beef and sheep producing district is fast becoming renowned for its enthusiasm in bringing world class Festivals and Events to the local area, showcasing their community spirit; the same community feel that makes our Multipurpose Health Facility a career move you will wish you had made earlier.  

What we can do for you

Ultimately, we provide you a platform to leapfrog your career with more opportunities to experience a wider scope of practice with less competition due to location and population.
