About the Role
An opportunity has become available at Albury Wodonga Aboriginal Health Service in a brand-new Pathway to Good Health (PTGH) program.

Working alongside the health practitioners in the team, the role will support the implementation of quality, culturally-sensitive care plans for children and young people. This will involve a high degree of collaboration with PTGH team members, VACCA, Dept Communities and Justice, carers and service providers across the region.

Consideration will also be given to applicants looking for career opportunity in a trainee position as an Aboriginal Health Worker.
