Sunrise Health Services Aboriginal Corporation – Katherine NT

Sunrise Health Service Aboriginal Corporation (Sunrise) is an Aboriginal community-controlled, not-for-profit health service supporting communities across the Big Rivers region of the Northern Territory.

At Sunrise, our work is guided by respect, cultural safety, and strong relationships with community. Everything we do is grounded in listening, learning, and working alongside the people we serve to improve health and wellbeing in a way that is meaningful and culturally safe.

The Chance

We're inviting Remote Area Nurses (RANs) and Midwives to join our team across the Big Rivers region, with permanent, casual, and flexible arrangements available.

This is more than a nursing or midwifery role—it's an opportunity to practise holistic, relationship-based care in some of the most culturally rich and remote communities in Australia. You'll work at the top of your scope, build genuine connections, and be part of a team that values collaboration, respect, and community-led care.

Key Responsibilities

As a Remote Area Nurse or Midwife with Sunrise, you will:

- Deliver comprehensive primary healthcare, including acute presentations, chronic disease management, preventative health, and, where applicable, maternity and women's health services.
- Work closely with Aboriginal Health Practitioners, GPs, allied health professionals, and community members to provide culturally responsive care.
- Support health education, community engagement, and locally driven health initiatives.
- Maintain accurate and timely clinical documentation in line with professional and regulatory standards.
- Participate in an on-call emergency response roster, supported by experienced clinical and operational teams.

About You

You are a dedicated nurse or midwife who values connection, impact, and adaptability,



with a genuine commitment to improving health outcomes for Aboriginal families and communities.

You will bring:

- Current registration with AHPRA as a Registered Nurse, Registered Midwife, Registered Nurse/Midwife, or Child Health Nurse.
- A minimum of two (2) years' post-registration clinical experience.
- Experience in remote health, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health, child health, primary healthcare, or midwifery (experience across multiple areas is highly regarded).
- The ability to work confidently and autonomously while recognising when to seek clinical support.
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills with a culturally safe and respectful approach to care.
- A commitment to ongoing learning, cultural safety, and continuous professional development.
- Flexibility and resilience to thrive in a remote healthcare environment.
- A current unrestricted manual driver's licence.
- Current First Aid certification.
- A current National Police Check.
- A valid NT OCHRE Card (or the ability to obtain one).
- An acceptable vaccination status to work with vulnerable people.
- Full Australian working rights.

What We Offer

- Competitive remuneration and salary packaging options.
- Generous leave entitlements.
- Relocation assistance to help you settle into the region.
- Ongoing professional development, mentoring, and career progression opportunities.
- The opportunity to make a meaningful impact while experiencing the unique lifestyle and landscapes of the Northern Territory.

Join Sunrise and become part of a team where nursing and midwifery are built on relationships, respect, and making a genuine difference every day.
