About the role
This is an opportunity for an experienced Registered Nurse to work in an innovative and progressive rural health service as an infection / prevention and control nurse

The purpose of this role is to provide and lead safe, appropriate, and responsive quality nurse care to patients and clients of Western NSW Local Health District, to improve the health and wellbeing of individuals and rural communities.

Our rural based multipurpose sites are small hospitals and some also contain aged care. Rural nurses work across settings in emergency, acute care, aged care, chronic disease, child health, primary care, mental health, dialysis, palliative, and health promotion. Nurses work in small teams or on their own, supported 24/7 by a world leading virtual care model utilising state of the art telehealth technology.

Rural nursing is nurse-led care, so nurses are a key part of the decision-making process for client care and have more influence on healthcare delivery.
