Job description

Virtual Health Clinician - Registered Nurse (Remote)

Work from Home | Australia-Wide | Dedicated Overnight Shifts | Night-Shift Uplift

What if your next night shift started at home?

Right now, a dedicated team of Registered Nurses are working overnight from home, providing clinical assessment, triage and health advice to people across Australia.

It’s a different way to use your nursing experience. You’ll assess and support people across a broad range of health concerns, using your clinical experience to determine what care they need and how urgently they need it. One call might involve reassuring a concerned parent, while the next could require you to identify clinical deterioration, assess risk or determine that urgent medical care is needed.

If overnight hours suit you, this is an opportunity to continue using your clinical skills and judgement in a role that offers the benefits of working from home, while making a meaningful difference to people across Australia.

Your experience and clinical judgement will be at the heart of what you do.

What You'll Do

As a Digital Health Clinician, you'll use your nursing experience, assessment skills and clinical judgement to:

• Conduct telephone-based clinical assessments and triage

• Provide evidence-based health advice across adult and paediatric presentations

• Assess clinical risk and recognise when escalation is required

• Support acute, sub-acute and mental health presentations

• Recommend appropriate care pathways

• Refer callers to GPs, Urgent Care Clinics, Virtual Emergency Departments and other appropriate health services

Work From Home — Without Working Alone

Working remotely doesn’t mean working in isolation. You’ll be part of a connected clinical team, with experienced Clinical Leads available throughout your shift for support, guidance and a second clinical perspective when you need it.

As one of our clinicians puts it:

\"You are alone, but you are not. We have a really engaging team on Microsoft Teams and the Clinical Leads are incredibly supportive, they will guide you when you need it.\"

It's also a role where experienced nurses continue to learn. Every shift brings different presentations, conversations and opportunities to strengthen your assessment skills and clinical decision-making.

\"I’m constantly learning in this role, every shift builds my confidence and clinical judgement.\"

Why Work With Us?

• Work from home anywhere in Australia

• No commute to or from your overnight shift

• Dedicated overnight shift with uplift for qualifying hours

• Continue using your clinical assessment, critical-thinking and decision-making skills

• Make a meaningful difference to patients across Australia

• Be part of a connected and supportive remote clinical team

• Comprehensive paid training to support your transition into digital healthcare

Hours & Key Details

• Full-time and part-time opportunities

• Minimum 32 hours per fortnight

• Minimum 6-hour shifts

• Overnight hours are between 9:00 pm and 6:00 am AEST, with a night-shift uplift applying to all hours worked within this window

• Fixed shifts within the 9:00 pm–6:00 am overnight window may be negotiable

• Initial contract through to 30 June 2027

About You

You're an experienced Registered Nurse with strong clinical judgement who is comfortable assessing risk, making clinical decisions and communicating with people who may be anxious, uncertain or unsure what to do next.

You’ll bring experience in acute care, emergency nursing, critical care or complex primary healthcare and be ready to apply those skills in a digital environment.

Essential requirements:

• Current unrestricted AHPRA registration

• Minimum four years' post-graduate RN experience in the required clinical areas, gained within the last five years

• Strong clinical assessment, critical-thinking and communication skills

• Confidence using digital systems and technology

• Reside and work within Australia

Experience across mental health, adult and paediatric presentations or previous telehealth experience is highly regarded.

Paid Training

As a Digital Health Clinician, you’ll need to be confident working with technology and navigating multiple digital systems as part of your everyday practice.

We'll provide comprehensive paid training before you begin working independently. You'll have the opportunity to become familiar with our systems, clinical pathways and the skills involved in telephone-based assessment and triage.

Please note: Availability to attend two weeks of full-time Monday–Friday training is mandatory.
