As a Clinical Nurse Consultant - Frailty Intervention Community Service, you'll play a vital role in supporting older people with complex health needs to maintain their wellbeing, independence and quality of life. From advanced clinical assessment and care coordination to partnering with patients, families and health professionals, you'll help shape care that makes a lasting difference across the community.
Every day, you'll contribute by:
- Delivering expert assessment, care planning and intervention that supports safe, person-centred outcomes for older people.

You build trusted relationships, navigate complexity with confidence and bring people together around a shared goal. You'll take pride in supporting older people to live healthier, more independent lives while influencing positive change across services and systems. You're not just here to provide expert care, you're here to create meaningful impact for patients, families and the wider community.
Here's what will help you thrive in this role:
- Current registration as a Registered Nurse with the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia.
- Advanced clinical skills and experience caring for frail older people with complex or chronic health needs.
- Strong leadership, care coordination and team engagement skills.
- A collaborative, innovative and patient-focused approach to improving outcomes.
You'll stand out from the crowd if you have postgraduate qualifications in geriatrics or aged care.
