Nurse Re-entry Program

The Nurse Re-entry Program is an Australian Government initiative supporting general practices to build their capability by hosting nurses in supervised placements. Through the program, eligible nurses may be matched with a general practice that will provide a supervised paid placement to regain full registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (NMBA).  

Nurse Re-entry Program (For General Practices)

The Nurse Re-entry Program (for general practices) is an Australian Government initiative supporting general practices to build their capability by hosting nurses in supervised placements. The program will strengthen your team by training nurses within your practice to regain full registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (NMBA). Once completed, the nurse will have met the requirements for full registration and be fully trained in your practice. 

Connector Point in Pharmacy Program

We are seeking pharmacies in the Blue Mountains, Hawkesbury, Lithgow and Penrith local government areas to join our social prescribing program by becoming a Pharmacy Connector Point, to help improve social connections for older adults in our region.  

This is part of our Compassionate Communities initiative aimed at enhancing social connections among older adults. Our 2025 Pharmacy Connector Points video explains the role.

Participating pharmacies will be remunerated to complete Connector Point training and deliver social prescribing services in their pharmacy. This involves health professionals connecting patients with non-clinical services, social groups or lifestyle activities, to help improve their health and wellbeing by building stronger connections within their local community. 

Penrith Medicare Urgent Care Clinic | EOI Open

The Penrith Medicare Urgent Care Clinic (UCC), established in August 2023, has secured continued funding through to 30 June 2028. As commissioners committed to due process and service improvement, we are conducting a request for tender (RFT) to select a provider for the Penrith Medicare Urgent Care Clinic from 1 July 2026.

Medicare UCCs are designed to improve access to urgent, non-life-threatening care when GP services are unavailable. The Penrith clinic plays a vital role in connecting patients to the right care pathways, including referral back to their regular GP or other providers, ensuring continuity of care. It also works closely with local health services to maintain strong integration and clear referral and escalation processes.

All general practices within the Penrith local government area, including the current provider, are encouraged to apply.  Complete your expression of interest (EOI) to receive the tender documents.
