Your new career awaits!
Maari Ma now has 2 x opportunities for Registered Nurses to join their team at Broken Hill. These are full-time positions working Monday to Friday with no night shifts and minimal weekends.

To be successful in this position you will have AHPRA registration as a Registered Nurse with at least 12 months post-graduate experience. Ideally you will also have (or be willing to obtain), authorisation as an immunisation provider in New South Wales.
Working with predominately Aboriginal clients, it is critical that you have the ability to work with Aboriginal staff and communities in a way that fosters mutual respect. You will be approachable and empathetic and be comfortable working in a cross-disciplinary and cross-cultural environment, without passing judgement.
Previous experience working in a primary health care setting and/or working with Aboriginal people in a remote or rural setting, would be highly regarded, but is not mandatory.
