Registered Nurse - Telehealth & Mental Health
Kantoko · Australia
Are you an experienced Registered Nurse looking to move from hospital-based nursing into a remote telehealth role?
Kantoko is looking for an AHPRA-registered nurse with at least three years of postgraduate clinical experience and a background in critical care and/or mental health.
This is a remote contractor role working three to four days per week. It could suit an Emergency Department, critical care or mental health nurse looking for a career change that still uses their clinical assessment, triage and patient care skills.
You’ll work from home and support adults receiving ADHD care through telehealth, alongside Kantoko’s GPs, psychiatrists and Customer Care team.
About Kantoko
Kantoko exists to make adult ADHD care work for real life.
We bring assessment, clinical care and ongoing support together in one telehealth platform. Our Psychiatry, GP, Nursing and Customer Care teams work closely together, supported by technology built around the way care is delivered.
For the adults we support, that means fewer handovers, less repetition and a team that stays with them for the longer term.
What you’ll be doing
You’ll support people as they move through their care with Kantoko. Your work will include:
Screening and triaging people joining the service
Conducting clinical reviews and check-ins via telehealth
Completing clinical assessments and risk assessments
Responding to clinical escalations from our Customer Care team
Identifying when someone needs further review or escalation
Working closely with our GPs and psychiatrists
Documenting assessments clearly and keeping the wider care team informed
Helping us improve our clinical processes and telehealth software through your feedback
What we’re looking for
You’ll need:
Current AHPRA registration as a Registered Nurse
At least three years of postgraduate clinical experience
A background in critical care and/or mental health nursing
Experience in an area such as emergency nursing, psychiatric nursing or mental health triage
Strong clinical assessment, patient triage and risk assessment skills
Confidence making decisions and working independently in a remote clinical role
Clear written and verbal communication
The ability to work three to four weekdays each week
Experience in ADHD care or telehealth is helpful, but it isn’t essential. What matters is that you’re interested in mental health, ready to learn and comfortable working as part of a multidisciplinary team.
You’ll probably enjoy this role if you:
Want to move away from shift work or the hospital environment
Are looking for a career pivot into telehealth, mental health or ADHD care
Are passionate about evidence-based and proactive mental health care
Stay calm when a situation isn’t straightforward
Enjoy working with GPs, psychiatrists and non-clinical teams
Are comfortable learning new technology
Want your clinical feedback to shape how care is delivered
Are looking for work that leaves more room for life outside work

A different way to use your nursing experience: You’ll use your clinical judgement through telehealth triage, clinical reviews, risk assessment and ongoing mental health care.
A team around you: You’ll work closely with Kantoko’s GPs, psychiatrists and Customer Care team. You’ll be trusted to make decisions, with clinical support available when a situation is more complex.
