The successful candidate will play a pivotal role in increasing testing rates for Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) and Blood Borne Viruses (BBVs) among OVAHS clients, particularly in response to the ongoing Syphilis outbreak and the endemic levels of other STIs prevalent in the East Kimberley region.

In addition to clinical nursing and clinical duties, this position will actively support the existing comprehensive primary health care approach by offering clinical support to the team in the management of STI screening, treatment, contact tracing, education, and quality improvement initiatives.
