About the Opportunity
Uniting NSW.ACT (Sydney Central) is launching an NP-led dementia care program across our Residential Aged Care Homes (RACHs) in the Central & Eastern Sydney PHN region.
As our Nurse Practitioner (Dementia Care), you will act as an advanced practice clinical leader embedded within care teams to improve assessment, prescribing (within scope), symptom management, and coordination with GPs and hospital outreach — reducing avoidable transfers and uplifting capability across our services.

This role is broad in scope and includes acute care episodes, chronic disease management, wound care, psychotropic stewardship, dementia care, deprescribing, and care coordination. You will work collaboratively with Residential Aged Care teams, GPs, and multidisciplinary stakeholders, focusing on best practice, capability building, and improving clinical outcomes for older people.
Key Responsibilities
Deliver comprehensive assessment and management for residents with dementia, using both non-pharmacological and pharmacological strategies (within scope and level of endorsement). Provide onsite clinical support and collaborate with GPs and care teams to ensure continuity of care. Coordinate case conferences and contribute to integrated care planning. Build capability through education, mentoring, and coaching of RNs, care staff, and families. Support dementia best practice and contribute to program reporting and outcomes.
