Community Registered Nurse

Hi there! We’re Five Good Friends.

We’re an approved aged care and NDIS service provider helping our Members (others call them clients) live vibrantly in their own homes. We wrap a care team around them and their families, supported by innovative software that coordinates in the background—so our teams can focus on what matters most: delivering exceptional care.

We’re proud to be a place where purpose meets impact. Every day, our work supports people to live the lives they choose, and that starts with the clinicians who bring expertise, empathy, and leadership into our communities.

As more Members seek high-quality clinical care at home, we’re growing our nursing team. That’s where you come in.

About the Role

This is a community-based role involving travel to Members’ homes (kilometres reimbursed), balanced with flexible work-from-home arrangements when you’re not visiting members.

Enjoy the flexibility of starting your day from home, allowing you to spend more time supporting members and less time commuting to and from an office. You’ll collaborate closely with Care Coordinators, Care Specialists, and Helpers to deliver safe, person-centred, and high-quality care.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Providing clinical oversight and support for Members with clinical care needs, including home visits and risk assessments.
• Collaborating with Care Teams to ensure consistent, person-centred support.
• Referring to allied health professionals and external providers to coordinate services.
• Reviewing and contributing to Care Plans so Helpers are well informed and supported.
• Partnering with the Community Nursing Team Leader to develop and implement clinical service improvements.
• Contributing to compliance with legislation, accreditation, and quality frameworks.
• Providing timely, practical clinical advice across the business.
• Supporting complaint and incident management processes in line with quality and safety standards.
• Looking for new ways to improve processes, strengthen local partnerships, and grow our presence.
• Representing Five Good Friends with professionalism, warmth, and pride—like you own it.

About You

• Registered Nurse qualification with current AHPRA registration.
• You’ll need to be comfortable driving and spending time on the road throughout your day.
• Experience in community, aged, or primary care nursing (highly regarded).
• Strong interpersonal, written, and verbal communication skills.
• Strong computer literacy, with the ability to quickly learn and navigate new systems.
• Confident providing clinical guidance and high-quality handovers.
• Experience in wound and catheter management (advantageous).
• Passionate about supporting older Australians to live meaningful, independent lives.
• Skilled at building strong, trusting relationships with Members, families, and colleagues.
• High level of integrity, confidentiality, and professionalism.
• Current driver’s licence and National Police Check.
• You must have the right to work in Australia.

What’s in It for You

• A competitive salary package that recognises your skills and experience.
• Flexible work arrangements—community visits balanced with working from home.
• $500 yearly wellness allowance to spend on anything that helps you feel good outside of work.
• Extra time off – after 2 years, you’ll earn an extra day of annual leave each year. You can also buy more leave if you’d like.
• Free, confidential counselling through our Sonder Program.
• Parental leave support – we top up wages for eligible caregivers, and primary caregivers get extra super during their first year of unpaid leave.
• Extend our care to a loved one at a special rate.  This family member will receive Care Managed services at Self Managed prices (values vary depending on circumstances)
• We’re a genuinely great place to work – our employee engagement scores are 17% above the industry average.
• Okinawa trip – after 5 years with us, we’ll send you to Japan to visit the community that inspired Five Good Friends. Flights, hotel, and transfers are all covered.
