Nurse Practitioner — Telehealth Consultations (Contractor)
Sydney Fresh Clinics
Job Description
About the role
We're looking for experienced Nurse Practitioners with Aesthetic experience & full time availability to join our telehealth team as independent contractors. This is adaptable, on-demand work that suits you if you want autonomy, and the ability to log on and off to suit your schedule.
Here's what you'll be doing:
You'll conduct real-time video consultations with patients via the Fresh platform, assess their suitability for cosmetic injectable treatments, and where clinically appropriate and within your endorsed scope of practice, prescribe Schedule 4 medicines and issue treatment authorisations for Fresh Clinic treating nurses.
The core work centres on three things: thorough patient consultation and medical assessment, informed consent and collaborative treatment planning, and clinical documentation maintained to the highest standard. You'll work across the full spectrum of non-surgical aesthetics: botulinum toxin, dermal fillers, bio‑stimulators, skin boosters, PDO threads, PRP treatments, and comprehensive facial rejuvenation planning.
Patient Assessment & Tele-consultation
- Video Consultations: Conduct mandatory real-time video consultations before issuing any prescription or authorisation.
- Comprehensive Screening: Verify patient identity, review full health histories, and assess contraindications or previous treatments.
- Psychological Suitability: Administer validated screening tools (including BDD screening) for every patient to ensure appropriateness for treatment.
Clinical Decision-Making & Collaboration
- Nurse Collaboration:
Partner directly with treating nurses on clinical decision-making and holistic treatment planning.
- Treatment Authorisations: Exercise professional judgment to approve, modify, or decline treatment plans, issuing authorisations with specific conditions or limits via the Fresh platform.
Governance, Documentation & Quality Assurance
- Contemporaneous Documentation: Maintain thorough records for all consultations—including declined treatments—and capture informed consent using app templates.
- Safety & Escalation: Escalate clinical concerns and adverse events promptly through Fresh's governance channels.
- Audit & Peer Review: Actively participate in clinical audits, case reviews, and peer review processes to maintain high standards of care.
The practical things:
- You're remote and mobile-first. You nominate your own availability and log on to accept consultation requests.
- We are looking for practitioners with full time availability, to be rostered, with our peak demand being Tuesday to Saturday, 9am to 6pm; we will also have shifts available Monday, Tuesday, and Sundays.
- You'll use the Fresh App on a supported iOS device from a private location with stable internet and good audio/video.
The Essentials:
- Current Ahpra registration as a Nurse Practitioner with no conditions, undertakings,
or restrictions.
- Endorsement to prescribe Schedule 4 medicines within your scope of practice.
- Demonstrated experience in cosmetic and aesthetic medicine.
- Sound working knowledge of Ahpra's non-surgical cosmetic procedures and telehealth guidelines, and the NMBA Nurse Practitioner Standards for Practice.
- Current professional indemnity insurance in your own name, meeting NMBA standards and covering telehealth consultation, prescribing, and cosmetic practice, plus run-off cover.
- Current CPR certification and competence in recognising and managing cosmetic injectable complications.
- Ability to consult independently and make sound clinical decisions in a remote setting.
- Reliable supported iOS device, stable internet, and a private consultation space.
- National police check.
- Australian Business Number and capacity to invoice as an independent contractor.
Great extras:
- Experience both performing cosmetic injectable treatments and overseeing or authorising them in a clinic or telehealth setting.
- Familiarity with cosmetic injectable products, treatment protocols, and complication management.
- Availability throughout the week and especially during peak windows (Tuesday–Saturday).
- Comfort working across a digital platform with minimal administrative support.
- Strong communication skills and the ability to build rapport quickly in telehealth.
- Experience contributing to clinical governance, audit, or committee work.
