About us:

The CQ Health Nurse and Midwife Navigator Service supports people living with chronic and complex health conditions across Central Queensland. Our Navigators work across hospital, community and primary care services to help people understand their care, connect with the right services and experience a more coordinated healthcare journey.

About the role:

As a Nurse Navigator (Generalist), you'll work with consumers who have complex healthcare needs, helping them navigate services and receive coordinated care across different settings and specialties.

- experience working across different specialties and healthcare settings
- leadership skills and a cooperative approach
- a genuine focus on improving the consumer experience and continuity of care.
