Practice Nurse Support

The Rockingham Kwinana Division of General Practice supports the recruitment and retention on nurses in general practice. As a nurse working in one of the practices in the Division's region you are automatically enrolled in our Practice Nurse Network which entitles you to access our education seminars at no cost. These sessions are monthly with flyers faxed our two weeks beforehand.

A Nursing Newsletter is also mailed out on a bi monthly basis to keep nurses informed of other education opportunities that may be of interest and also any relevant Divisional, general practice or nursing issues.
We are contactable by phone, email or happy to visit you in your practice as needed. You are also welcome to visit the Division to meet the staff and learn more about the many services and programs we offer to your practice.
For more information please contact Kevin Shanks on (08) 9439 9500 or email info@rkdgp.com.au
