Job description

Practice Nurse ( RN & EN) for Yeppoon & Emu Park

Are you a Registered Nurse or Enrolled Nurse looking for a role where your care, skills, and relationships with patients truly matter?

Yeppoon Family Practice and The Family Practice Emu Park are long-established, well-loved general practices with a proud history of caring for families across the Capricorn Coast. For many patients, we have been part of their healthcare journey for years — sometimes generations.

As our practices continue to grow, we are looking for additional Practice Nurses to join our supportive team and help us continue delivering the warm, patient-centred care our community has come to know and trust.

This is more than just another nursing role. It is an opportunity to work in a respected local practice where your clinical skills, compassion, initiative, and relationships with patients genuinely matter.

At Yeppoon Family Practice and The Family Practice Emu Park, our purpose is simple: to make a meaningful difference to the health of our community.

We offer a refreshing alternative to the bureaucracy of large hospitals or corporate healthcare. Here, you will be part of a local, values-driven team where people know each other, patients are treated as individuals, and nurses are valued as an essential part of the care team.

You will have the support of experienced GPs, Nurses, and Administration staff, as well as the strength and stability of a practice group that has proudly served the Central Queensland community for 50 years.
