About us

Coastal Orthopaedic Surgery is a specialist hip and knee practice led by Dr Frank Connon, Sunshine Coast orthopaedic surgeon.

- Non-operative management of hip and knee osteoarthritis





- Telehealth follow-ups for post-operative and non-surgical patients

- Prescribing, ordering and interpreting investigations, and referring within your scope

- Patient education, including preparing patients for surgery and rehabilitation

- Liaising with referring GPs, physiotherapists and hospital teams

About you

- Current AHPRA endorsement as a Nurse Practitioner

- Medicare provider number and PBS prescriber number (or eligible to obtain)

- Orthopaedic, musculoskeletal, perioperative or arthroplasty experience highly regarded but not essential (comprehensive training is able to be provided by our experienced team)

- Excellent communication skills and a warm, reassuring manner with patients

- Able to work autonomously within established clinical protocols

What we offer

- Retain 100% of your MBS billings

- Set three-day week: Monday, Tuesday and Friday, 8am–5pm. Flexibility for increased hours if desired.
