About Us

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 Opportunity

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 provide holistic, relationship-based care in some of Australia’s most culturally rich and remote communities. You’ll work to the full scope of your practice, 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 and preventative health, with maternity and women’s health services where applicable.

- Work collaboratively with Aboriginal Health Practitioners, GPs, allied health professionals and community members to provide culturally safe, 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, with support from experienced clinical and operational teams.

About You

You’re 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 AHPRA registration as a Registered Nurse, Registered Midwife, Registered Nurse/Midwife or Child Health Nurse.

- A minimum of two 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 professional development.

- A current unrestricted manual driver's licence.

- A valid NT OCHRE Card (or the ability to obtain one).

- An acceptable vaccination status to work with vulnerable people.

- Full Australian working rights.

At Sunrise, we care for our nurses and midwives as much as we care for our communities. You'll be supported with:

- Competitive remuneration and salary packaging options.
