You bring integrity to every interaction, have the courage to advocate for better outcomes and are open to innovative approaches that improve health and wellbeing. You'll feel proud knowing your work helps people access quality care, stay connected to services and achieve healthier futures.

Here's what will help you thrive in this role:
This is an identified role and, under relevant Queensland legislation, applicants must be of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander descent.
Certificate IV in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Primary Health Care Practice.
Demonstrated experience providing culturally responsive primary health care services.
Strong relationship-building skills and the ability to work effectively within a multidisciplinary team.
