Supported rotations are also possible for the right people - spend 18 months or 2 years working your way from the centre to the coast while we pay your transport costs. There is such a variety of locations and environments available, from the urban to the remote, from the desert to the tropics and don't forget the culture. Nothing can compare to working with the local people and how similar but different the cultures are between the desert and saltwater people. Step into the future and experience the past.
Opportunities
The perception many people have of the NT is one of isolation, a backwater beyond the black stump with maybe a shirtless Outback Jack or Crocodile Dundee. This view has worked in n our favour. To ensure we keep abreast of clinical changes and best practice, the NT Government has strongly supported the development of a service that is at the top of clinical care delivery in Australia.
- Education and skill development is zealously supported through funding programs for conference attendance, clinical workshops and postgraduate education.
- Research is encouraged and promoted as it is considered essential to the development of evidence-based practices. We work with many organisations and NT Renal Services is currently involved in no fewer than 5 many projects on a local, national and international level.
Just to prove how creative and innovative we are, consider these Australian FIRSTS:
- Clinical care - fistula flow rate monitoring,
- Education - Aboriginal Health Worker (AHW) training in dialysis
- Service delivery - satellites in remote communities, relocatable dialysis facilities and partnerships for remote dialysis
- Service support - outreach programs and translated Indigenous educational materials
- Client support - bush tucker hunting and cooking sessions, toll free numbers and one-stop shops for support services.
