Ready to take the next step in general practice nursing?

Lutwyche Family Practice is looking for an experienced Registered Nurse to lead and develop our nursing function while remaining actively involved in patient care.

This is a genuine hands-on clinical leadership position. You will not be removed from patients or confined to administrative management. You will work closely with our Practice Manager and two principal GPs to support our nursing team, coordinate the treatment room and strengthen the systems that underpin safe, effective patient care.

About us

Lutwyche Family Practice is an established, accredited, mixed-billing general practice caring for families across Brisbane’s inner north.

We are proudly independent and doctor-owned. Decisions are made within the practice, and you will have direct access to our approachable principal GPs and Practice Manager.

Our team includes approximately eight part-time GPs, visiting specialists, allied health providers, nurses and an experienced reception team, with pathology located onsite.

About the role

As Lead Practice Nurse, you will provide day-to-day clinical leadership and help create a consistent, well-supported nursing service.

You will:

- lead, support and mentor our small nursing team

- coordinate daily treatment-room priorities, workflows and patient flow

- provide immunisations, wound care, health assessments and other general practice nursing care

- strengthen chronic disease management, recalls, reviews and preventive-health activities





- support the development of practical nurse-led services

- oversee vaccine management and cold-chain compliance

- support infection prevention, medicines safety and emergency readiness

- coordinate clinical stock, equipment and treatment-room standards

- contribute to accreditation, audits, incident review and quality improvement

- help strengthen clinical workflows within Best Practice Premier.

Protected leadership time

We recognise that meaningful improvement work cannot simply be added to an already full clinical workload.

You will have protected time within your ordinary paid hours for nursing leadership, quality improvement, team development and service planning. Priorities will be agreed with the Practice Manager and principal GPs so the role remains realistic and properly supported.

About you

We are looking for an experienced Registered Nurse who combines sound clinical judgement with initiative, organisation and a collaborative leadership style.

You will have:

- current unrestricted AHPRA registration as a Registered Nurse

- substantial recent experience in Australian general practice or primary healthcare

- strong clinical skills across immunisation, wound care, chronic disease and preventive care

- current immunisation qualifications appropriate for practice in Queensland

- current CPR/BLS certification

- sound knowledge of cold chain, infection prevention, medicines safety and clinical risk





- experience supporting, mentoring or leading other nurses

- excellent communication, organisation and follow-through

- Australian working rights.

Experience with Best Practice Premier is highly regarded. Formal leadership experience is valuable, but we also welcome an accomplished senior practice nurse who is ready to step into genuine leadership.

Why join Lutwyche Family Practice?

- Competitive rate of $45–$50 per hour plus super

- Stable Monday-to-Friday employment

- No evenings or routine weekends

- Full-time preferred, with flexible permanent part-time considered

- Protected paid leadership and quality-improvement time

- Direct access to the Practice Manager and practice owners

- Genuine influence over nursing systems and services

- A hands-on role with diverse general practice nursing

- Professional development supported in line with the role and practice priorities

- Convenient inner-north location with parking, shops, cafés, pharmacy and services onsite.

This is an opportunity to build something meaningful within a close-knit practice where your contribution will be visible and your decisions will have a direct effect on nurses, doctors and patients.

How to apply

Please submit your resume and a brief cover letter outlining:

- your recent general practice or primary healthcare experience

- your leadership, mentoring or coordination experience

- one example of a nursing workflow, service or patient-care improvement you have helped implement.

Applications will be reviewed as they are received. Confidential enquiries are welcome.

Lutwyche Family Practice welcomes applications from people of all backgrounds who meet the essential clinical and registration requirements.
