About us

The Alfred Health Renal Service provides clinical services that incorporate an extensive consultative and management program for inpatient, ambulatory and community based renal care. These renal services are provided across the acute inpatient ward at The Alfred, ambulatory and outpatient settings and three dialysis units across the Alfred Health campuses.

Services are provided across the spectrum of acute and chronic kidney disease, including dialysis (including for acute kidney injury) and renal transplant. Dialysis is provided through in-centre, home and satellite dialysis. Renal transplantation includes both deceased and live donor as well as multi-organ transplants. There are strong links with Peninsula Health where a hub and spoke model supports the satellite haemodialysis services at Frankston, Hastings and Rosebud Hospitals.

About the role

The Renal Transplant Nurse Practitioner (NP) works autonomously and collaboratively as part of a multidisciplinary renal transplant team—including nephrologists, surgical and nursing staff, and allied health professionals—to deliver comprehensive, appropriate, and timely care to patients across the entire renal transplant continuum. This includes pre-transplant assessment and preparation, post-transplant follow-up, and long-term management.

Focusing on patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) undergoing evaluation for transplantation, as well as post-transplant, the NP plays a pivotal role in optimising outcomes. Responsibilities include clinical assessment, diagnosis, prescribing treatment, managing immunosuppressive therapy, and providing regular patient reviews. Through expert clinical knowledge and an extended scope of practice, the NP addresses service gaps by enabling more frequent, convenient, and locally accessible care.
