https://practicenursecentral.com.au/about How to get a job as a nurse in general practice We often get questions from nurses wanting to make the move into General Practice, but who are not too sure about the best way to go about it. There are some amazing GP clinics around Australia that any nurse would be lucky to work at, however, it can often take a couple of tries until you find the best fit for you. This is because every practice is different. So much so, that they can at times feel like they are worlds apart. When looking for the right practice nursing job, there are a couple of places I would suggest checking out for available positions. So, where should you start? You can start by checking the jobs page on our website. You should also look at what’s advertised in employment websites like Seek. Seek remains one of the largest pools of job advertisements. So Make sure you search for the keywords “Practice Nurse”, “GP Nurse” or General Practice Nurse”. It’s also highly recommend to get in touch with the practice support officers at the Primary Health Network or (PHN) in your area. PHNs are not for profit organisations who provide support for primary care, including general practice and they often know of clinics looking for nurses and sometimes, may even advertise positions directly. To find your Primary Health Network visit: the phn locator map in the department of health website. http://www.health.gov.au/internet/main/publishing.nsf/content/phn-locator Another strategy is to Contact local practices directly:. Yes, You can reach out to nearby clinics directly by sending your resume/CV along with a cover letter. To Find GP clinics near you, simply perform a search using the National Health Services Directory. This will list practices near a suburb or postcode and will also include basic contact details such as phone number, address and sometimes even an email. Make sure to address any correspondence to the practice manager and follow up after a week to make sure they’ve received your correspondence.
