Enrolled Nurses
Our Enrolled Nurses work under the guidance of Registered Nurses to deliver skilled nursing care and support, bringing extensive hands-on experience to every visit.
How enrolled nurses fit into your care
Enrolled nurses follow your care plan under the direction of a registered nurse. Depending on your needs, that can include:
- taking observations such as blood pressure
- supporting you with your medications
- wound care and dressings, see wound management
- supporting you with everyday health routines
Working with the wider team
Enrolled nurses work closely with our registered nurses and support workers, and let the registered nurse know about any changes in your health. See all of our nursing services.
Checking registration
Enrolled nurses in Australia must be registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia to practise. You can check on the public register of practitioners on the Ahpra website.
Enrolled nurses: questions
What is the difference between a registered nurse and an enrolled nurse?
Registered nurses take responsibility for assessing your needs and planning and evaluating your nursing care. Enrolled nurses deliver nursing care under the direction and supervision of a registered nurse.
