About Your Role
The Rural Generalist Nurse Practitioner will be centralised to a cluster within the Local Health District to provide outreach support i.e. Integrated care with Primary Health Network, Emergency, Acute Care, Ageing and Palliative Care, Chronic and Complex Care, Mental Health Care, Women’s Health and Child and Family Care. These roles will function both within and across the sites and services within these clusters.
Rural generalist NPs need to be able to manage a broad range of acute and chronic presentations across the lifespan to address patient and community needs. NP will receive and make referrals to facilitate integrated care across disciplines or teams.

The NP model can enhance care delivery through:
- Assessment and treatment
- Telemonitoring of signs and symptoms
- Telehealth services
- Providing outreach to spoke services and clinics
- Symptom and medication management
- Discharge follow up and education
- Health promotion and prevention
- Support for patient/clinician enquiries aimed at reducing re-presentations and increasing patient satisfaction.
