At Shepparton Women’s Health Centre, we believe health care should be compassionate, respectful and empowering.

We are seeking an experienced and caring Practice Nurse Manager (RN) who shares our commitment to supporting women and families at every stage of life. While women’s health is at the heart of what we do, we are also a fully AGPAL accredited general practice, providing quality care to women, men and children in our community.

You will be joining a supportive and collaborative multidisciplinary team of GPs, gynaecologists, paediatricians, a physiotherapist and a psychologist who genuinely value teamwork, professionalism and patient-centred care.

𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐨𝐥𝐞
This is more than a clinical role — it is an opportunity to lead with compassion, contribute to high standards of care, and help shape the patient experience within our practice.
As Practice Nurse Manager, you will:
• Provide high quality, evidence-based nursing care
• Support and guide nursing services within the practice
• Foster a positive and respectful team culture
• Contribute to quality improvement and accreditation standards
• Support chronic disease management and preventative health initiatives
• Assist with procedures and coordinate clinical systems
• Help ensure a safe, welcoming and well-organised environment for patients and staff
We are looking for someone who is proactive, organised and confident, yet approachable and kind — someone who values relationships just as much as clinical excellence.

𝐄𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐚
• Registered Nurse (Division 1) with current AHPRA registration
• Current professional indemnity insurance
• Minimum 3 years post-graduate experience
• Current Working With Children Check
• Current CPR certificate
• Strong time management and ability to work independently
• Excellent communication and teamwork skills

𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐂𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐚
• Previous General Practice experience, including wound care, sterilisation, cold chain management, reminders and recalls, and assisting with minor procedures
• Understanding of Medicare Benefits Schedule GP item numbers
• Accredited Nurse Immuniser
• Credentialled Cervical Screening Provider
• Experience in Chronic Condition Management Plans
• Experience supporting accreditation and quality improvement processes

𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐉𝐨𝐢𝐧 𝐔𝐬?
• Be part of a respectful, supportive and values-driven workplace
• Contribute meaningfully to women’s health in our community
• Work within a multidisciplinary team that genuinely collaborates
• Enjoy a stable, well-established and accredited practice environment

If you are passionate about women’s health and are looking for a part-time leadership role within a caring and professional team, we would love to hear from you.

💛💛 𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐂𝐇 𝐈𝐒 𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐎𝐒𝐈𝐒 𝐀𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐄𝐒𝐒 𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐓𝐇 💛💛

This month is Endometriosis Awareness Month, a condition that affects approximately 1 in 7 women and people assigned female at birth.

Endometrium, the inside lining of the uterus, can sometimes grow elsewhere in the abdomen and is then called endometriosis. It can affect areas such as the pelvis, ovaries, and fallopian tubes, leading to pain, inflammation, and the formation of scar tissue.

💛 𝙎𝙮𝙢𝙥𝙩𝙤𝙢𝙨
Symptoms can vary, but mostly it is pain worsening in the lead up to the period and can significantly impact quality of life—sometimes causing people to miss school, work, or daily activities. Other symptoms can be fatigue, pain with s*x or with bowel movements.

💛 𝙒𝙝𝙮 𝘼𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙈𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙨
Recognising these symptoms early can help you start important conversations with your doctor, such as a GP or a pelvic pain or endometriosis specialist.

Treatment depends on individual needs, stage of life, and symptom severity. Options may include pain relief, hormonal therapies, and other medical approaches aimed at managing symptoms. A definitive diagnosis often requires a surgical procedure.

💛 𝙎𝙝𝙤𝙬 𝙔𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙎𝙪𝙥𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩 💛
This Endo Giving Day on 25th March, your donation to Endometriosis Australia will help train nurses in rural and regional communities—so more people living with endometriosis receive the understanding, care, and compassion they deserve.

So donate today: https://endometriosisaustralia.org/

You can also show your support by wearing yellow on 25th March, standing with everyone affected by endometriosis—the warriors and the survivors. Together, we can ensure no one feels overlooked, no matter where they live.

I’m excited to announce the next step in the development of Shepparton Women’s Health Centre.

Ten years ago, Josie and I started our women’s health centre at 100–104 Corio Street. Since then, it has grown into something truly special, thanks to the support of our community.

It is now time to formalise and expand this partnership. I am delighted to announce my three new partners: Ms Josie Ganino, Dr Cristina Tolentino and Dr Jessica Hetherington.

I am incredibly happy about this new chapter, which will bring fresh ideas and renewed energy as we continue working to provide the best possible care for the women of Shepparton and surrounds.

I would like to sincerely thank every single person who has supported us along the way. I am very grateful for what you have helped us build so far.

Onwards and upwards 🥂

Dr Margreet Stegeman

At our clinic, we’re proud to support women at every stage of life. From baby checks to end of life care, from first periods through to menopause, for contraceptive advice, cervical screening tests, pregnancy planning and guidance through the ups and downs of life, we’re here to provide respectful, evidence-based care.

Your health and wellbeing are important, and you deserve health professionals who listen and support you.

💜 Happy International Women’s Day 💜
