Community Registered Nurse – Full Time | Ipswich & Lockyer Valley

PLEASE READ BEFORE APPLYING: This role is open only to applicants who already hold full, unrestricted working rights in Australia. We are not offering visa sponsorship now or at any point in the future, and we cannot support 482, 494, 407 or student visa applications. Applications that do not meet this requirement will not be progressed. You must also already be living in South East Queensland and able to attend an interview in Ipswich.

About the role

You'll work autonomously across Ipswich and the Lockyer Valley, with a fully maintained company car, laptop and phone. You drive out to your clients, make the clinical calls, and see the same people improve over months and years. This is a full time, Monday to Friday role with no night shift, no 12-hour rotating roster, and no being called back in on your day off.

• Complete initial and ongoing clinical assessments in clients' homes, and write the care plans that follow from them

• Deliver hands-on nursing - wound care, catheter care, medication management, continence, diabetes support and palliative care

• Make clinical judgement calls on your own in the community, and know when to escalate

• Supervise, upskill and support our care staff so the clinical standard holds across every shift

• Work with families, GPs, allied health and hospital discharge teams to keep clients safely at home

• Keep clear, audit-ready documentation aligned to the Aged Care Quality Standards and NDIS Practice Standards

About you

• AHPRA registration as a Registered Nurse, current and unrestricted

• Minimum 3 years' post-registration experience, with genuine experience working independently — community, district or home nursing is strongly preferred over facility or ward-only backgrounds

• Sound, confident clinical judgement without a colleague down the hall

• Working knowledge of aged care (Support at Home / home care packages) and the NDIS — funding, care planning and compliance, not just clinical care

• Full Australian working rights — no sponsorship available

• You live in, or are relocating at your own arrangement to, the Ipswich / Lockyer Valley / Greater Brisbane area

• Full Australian driver's licence

• Current or willing to obtain: National Police Check, NDIS Worker Screening Clearance, Working with Children Check, First Aid & CPR

Benefits

• $85,000 – $95,000 base + superannuation, depending on experience

• Fully maintained company vehicle - including running costs and fuel

• Laptop and mobile phone provided

• Monday to Friday with no night shift or rotating roster

• Real autonomy to manage your day and your caseload

• Ongoing paid training and professional development, and support toward further qualifications

• A small, genuinely supportive local team
