Our Practice Nurses

Liz is a Registered Nurse and Midwife who has been living and working in Narrabri since she began her nursing career. (Originally from Queensland – so not a local despite 20 years!) Liz has a strong focus on rural Australia and the people represented within the rural communities. She recognises that we have an extraordinary array of talents, professions and skills in rural Australia which need to be celebrated, utilised and valued, and feels that Narrabri is no different. Liz believes our residents deserve high quality health care and access to high quality services. Liz feels privileged to be able to work closely with people in all walks of life in her chosen career.

Kate completed a Bach of Nursing at UNE in 2002 and has worked at various rural and remote hospitals.  Kate applied for these positions as the need and lack of services provided to these communities appealed to her.  She is currently working part-time at Bridge Medical as she has a young family and farm life to keep her busy on other days!
