CHNs in health centres provide a comprehensive range of nursing services, including in health promotion and disease prevention. Their practice aims to build the capacity of individual, family and community wellness.

CHNs in this setting are not on call and do not provide emergency services. Part-time (0.5 FTE), full-time and casual positions are available.

The aim is for clients to feel safe, welcomed, valued, respected and heard when they access care services at one of these centres.
