Enrolled Nurses

Enrolled Nurses work as part of a team who are collectively responsible for clients' health and wellbeing. They also support clients' access and integration into the community and foster their links with family, school, sport and recreation, and other services. Enrolled Nurses support clients to learn new skills and empower them to overcome their fears of doing the things many of us take for granted.

An Enrolled Nurse may help clients to settle permanently within the community and may work in a residential or community setting, with support groups or individual clients. Some of the Enrolled Nurse jobs include:

• Feeding, bathing, positioning and exercising
• Observing and recording people's health status, behaviour and activities
• Recognising and reporting departures from a person's usual health status
• Collecting specimens for pathological examinations
• Giving general support to people to enable them to live full and rewarding lives and to participate in their communities
• Implementing health and/or treatment plans, regimes and training programs

Enrolled Nurses need the following skills and qualifications:

• Current enrolment on List A of the Roll of Nurses with the Nurses' Registration Board
• Certificate IV in Disability (or the willingness to obtain it)
• Current driver's licence
