What your day could look like

You'll play a vital role in strengthening the health and wellbeing of your community. From guiding people through care pathways to building meaningful connections with families, you'll work with a supportive team dedicated to delivering respectful, culturally informed services.

Every day, you'll contribute by:

• Leading tailored health support that helps individuals and families access the right care at the right time
• Working closely with clinicians, community groups and partner services to coordinate care and improve outcomes
• Creating and delivering education that empowers people to make informed decisions about their sexual health and overall wellbeing
• Building relationships that promote cultural understanding, connection and long‑term engagement with health services

Let's talk about you!

You're someone who blends deep cultural knowledge with genuine care for your community. You communicate with clarity, compassion and confidence, and you know how to support people through sensitive moments with dignity and respect. You take pride in being someone others can rely on- someone who advocates, guides and brings people together to improve health outcomes. You're committed to creating change that strengthens families today and builds healthier futures for generations to come.

Here's what will help you thrive in this role:

• A recognised qualification in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Primary Health Care (Certificate IV or Diploma)
• Strong understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, health needs and community priorities
• The ability to mentor, collaborate and communicate with a wide range of stakeholders
• A current C‑class driver's licence

You'll stand out from the crowd if you have experience working in regional communities and/or additional training in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Primary Health Care Practice.

Above all, you'll embody the values we live by at Darling Downs Health- Compassion, Integrity, Dignity, Innovation and Courage—to deliver care that makes a real and lasting impact.
