Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Nurse Navigation Service

A culturally safe Nurse Navigator and Health Worker service that comes to you. The Community and Oral Health Nurse Navigation team has a new model of care to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients navigate their health journey.

The service consists of an Identified Nurse Navigator and Advanced Health Worker.
