For patients with POTS and other forms of dysautonomia, prescribed IV fluid support too often means an emergency department wait or a day unit that has never heard of their condition. Done properly — booked, unhurried, run by a nurse who knows their history — it's one of the most useful things a clinic can offer.
biio. was built for patients with complex invisible illness — hypermobility, dysautonomia, MCAS, chronic pain and fatigue, and the presentations that travel with them. In two years we've cared for more than 4,000 people across more than 17,000 consults and grown to a team of more than 50. We're now opening a Melbourne clinic in July/August — our first east-coast site, with Sydney and Brisbane to follow.
We're looking for an enrolled or registered nurse to run the infusion service at our Collingwood clinic: IV fluid therapy for patients with POTS and other dysautonomias, and vitamin and magnesium infusions, all prescribed by our medical team. You'll manage the infusion suite end to end — cannulation, administration, monitoring, documentation and escalation when something doesn't look right. Experience in infusion, day-oncology, emergency or acute medical nursing is genuinely valued; what matters most is reliable cannulation and sound judgement about the patient in the chair.
You won't run the service in isolation. Prescribing sits with our nurse practitioners, GPs and medical consultants, who work in the same clinic and are there when a patient's presentation raises a question. Before each patient arrives, the relevant picture is already assembled in biio.graphy: the orders, prior infusion notes, history and alerts, so you start the session ready rather than rebuilding the file. biio.graphy organises the information; the prescriber sets the orders and you decide how the session runs.
Integrated care breaks down the moment someone stops listening, so we hire for the opposite. The people who do well here are low-ego and high-EQ: they ask before they assume and they treat another discipline's read on a patient as something to learn from rather than defend against. Humility, openness and inclusivity aren't slogans here — they're the conditions that let a multidisciplinary team reason as one.
This will suit a nurse who cannulates well on difficult veins and stays methodical when a patient is anxious or symptomatic, who asks the prescriber rather than working around a doubt, and who prefers patients they'll see again to a stream of strangers. It's less suited to someone after acute-ward variety over a service they can make their own.
The role is onsite in Melbourne, in Collingwood, part-time with flexible days that grow as the infusion list builds. Remuneration is variable based on experience. The clinicians who help open Melbourne will shape how the service develops.
