About You

You present yourself as an Aboriginal health professional who brings cultural authority, lived experience and genuine community connection to your work. You meet the requirement of being an Aboriginal person through descent, identity and community acceptance, and you understand the importance of formal recognition through a letter of Aboriginality. Your background reflects a strong commitment to improving health outcomes for Aboriginal people, supported by a relevant qualification in Aboriginal health, nursing, allied health or an equivalent field, along with more than two years of hands‑on experience.

You carry a deep understanding of the health issues affecting Aboriginal communities and you approach your work with respect, trust‑building and strong advocacy. You communicate with clarity and confidence, offering support to Aboriginal patients, families and carers in a way that is culturally safe and grounded in community values. Your organisational skills are well developed, allowing you to manage time pressures, negotiate effectively and meet tight deadlines while working within defined resources.

You’re someone who can work independently when required, yet you also thrive as part of a high‑performing team, motivating others and contributing to a collaborative, supportive environment. You have experience implementing projects and you’re confident using a range of computer applications, including the Microsoft Office Suite, to support efficient and effective service delivery.

With a valid unrestricted NSW driver’s licence and a willingness to travel, you’re ready to engage with communities wherever the role requires, bringing professionalism, cultural insight and a strong commitment to improving health outcomes for Aboriginal people.

Applicants must be of Australian Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Island descent. Aboriginality is a genuine occupational qualification as authorised under S21 of Anti-Discrimination Act 1977.
