Green Square Health is proudly part of the Nuvo Health Services group.
The Green Square Urgent Care Service (GSUCS) was established in July **** in collaboration with the NSW Government and Central and Eastern Sydney Primary Health Network, to bridge the gap between urgent general practice care, and our emergency departments.

within 2-12 hours
Is not a clear life threatening emergency
Cannot wait until the next day to see their regular doctor or a local clinic
Is considered medically urgent
You will be working with an administration officer and a general practitioner with urgent care experience to help deliver this care in a timely manner.
Patients will:
present to GSUCS via Healthdirect referral, or by walking in
They are then assessed for initial eligibility, and are triaged by the nurse
After assessing the degree of urgency, they will await assessment and treatment by the GP if appropriate, or care is escalated higher if needed
At the completion of each episode, the GP will handover patient care back to the regular GP with a written discharge summary and plan
Key Responsibilities of the UCS nurse:
Assess patient history and triage into appropriate categories at around 15 minutes per patient or shorter
Communicate effectively with patients to obtain focused presentation histories and explain treatments if required
Escalate urgent cases to doctors as a priority

Document triage history with precision and detail

Full Australian working rights with no restrictions
You'll be successful if you have:
