Regional Nurse Link Program
Access Myeloma Australia’s Regional Link Nurses for local support, education, and mentorship in rural and remote communities nationwide.
A network of local support
While education and support for myeloma patients can be more challenging to access outside of metropolitan areas, we believe in fostering an in-place model of support.
The Regional Nurse Link program aims to bridge this gap by offering mentorship and education opportunities to regional nurses, leveraging their local expertise and enhancing it with Specialist Myeloma Nurse support.
How the program supports regional nurses
Myeloma Australia’s Regional Nurse Link program has been designed to provide education and mentorship to nurses working in regional, rural and remote areas. It offers education, collaboration and networking opportunities to nurses in regional, rural and remote areas, enhancing their ability to support the local myeloma community.
Direct benefits for local myeloma patients
Benefits for people living with myeloma in regional, rural or remote locations:
- Local knowledge informed by ongoing support and mentorship from Myeloma Australia Specialist Myeloma Nurses
- A locally accessible resource and support person
- Reassurance of access to up-to-date information about myeloma and its treatment.
Our Link Nurses: Local connection, national support
Our Regional Link Nurses provide vital connection and context with the local myeloma community so that appropriate information and support services can be facilitated in regional areas as we strive for equity of access to Myeloma Australia’s support services.
