About Us
At Monash Health Public Health & Community, we’re passionate about supporting people to live healthier, more independent, and more fulfilling lives. As Victoria’s largest public health service, we deliver innovative, integrated, and person-centred care across our diverse local communities.
Our teams work with clients across all ages and stages of life, providing a seamless continuum of nonacute care — from prevention and early intervention through to rehabilitation and long-term condition management. We empower individuals to take charge of their health by offering support that is flexible, holistic, and grounded in evidence-based practice.
Whether in clients’ homes, community facilities, or one of our dedicated Monash Health Community hubs, our clinicians collaborate across disciplines to ensure people receive the right care, in the right place, at the right time.
About the Role
As a Nurse Practitioner with Monash Health Community, you will play a vital role in delivering a proactive, person-centred model of care that helps people with chronic and complex conditions stay well and safely at home. This is an exciting opportunity to use your advanced clinical skills to make a meaningful difference across both acute and community settings.
In this role, you will work across the Emergency Department and Community programs, helping to divert suitable clients away from unnecessary hospital presentations and supporting early discharge pathways. By providing timely assessment, advanced clinical interventions, and integrated care planning, you will help reduce exacerbations of chronic disease and improve long-term health outcomes.
You will be part of a dynamic service model that blends time in the Emergency Department with clinic based care and assertive outreach, including home visits within the Monash Health catchment.
Operating within a person-centred care framework and aligned with the social model of health, you will play a central role in assessing and managing client wellbeing, empowering individuals to actively participate in their health journey.
