What you'll be doing
The vision for South Eastern Sydney Local Health District (SESLHD) is ‘exceptional care, healthier lives’. SESLHD is committed to enabling our community to be healthy and well, and to providing the best possible compassionate care when people need it.
You'll be working at the Kirketon Road Centre, which provides free and confidential healthcare for people facing obstacles to getting the health care they need. This includes people who inject drugs, sex workers, homeless people, young people at risk, and anyone needing urgent sexual health or HIV/Hepatitis care.
Your main role will be to support Aboriginal people who access our clinics and outreach services. You'll also provide cultural insight and guidance within KRC.
Additionally, you'll work with KRC clinical and health promotion staff to develop programs to protect the health of Aboriginal people at risk of blood borne viruses and sexually transmitted infections.
The Kirketon Road Centre is part of the SESLHD Sexual Health and Blood Borne Virus Services, so you might collaborate with those teams when needed.
