Background

About Amanda McGraw

With over 18 years of diverse nursing experience across acute care, community health, disability services, residential aged care, and clinical leadership, I am passionate about delivering high-quality, person-centred care while driving continuous improvement in healthcare standards.‍ In my most recent role as Home / Clinical Manager at ACH Group’s McLaren Vale Residential Site, I led clinical operations with a strong focus on governance, compliance, and excellence in care delivery. My leadership approach emphasises mentorship, collaboration, and strategic vision, fostering a culture of professional development and service excellence. I decided to move on from this position as the demands of being on call around the clock over an extended period weren’t sustainable long-term. I take pride in delivering safe, high-quality care and felt that I could contribute more effectively in an environment with the right support and balance. I’m now looking for a position where I can bring my skills and experience to a team that values collaboration, staff wellbeing, and person-centred care. Prior to ACH, I spent over 5 years with HenderCare as Clinical Nurse Specialist and Clinical/Disability Lead. There, I oversaw clinical governance, credentialing, compliance, and workforce education. I developed and implemented credentialing programs to enhance workforce competency and regulatory compliance, delivered evidence-based training in tracheostomy care, gastrostomy management, epilepsy, and complex wound care, and authored clinical policies and procedures that upheld best practice in disability and aged care. I also led quality and risk management initiatives, including clinical incident investigations, medication safety strategies, and service audits. My background in **critical care—including ICU, HDU, and Emergency Department & Community nursing—**has equipped me with the skills to navigate complex health scenarios, lead multidisciplinary teams, and implement best-practice frameworks that ensure safe, high-quality care. I look forward to applying my expertise to strengthen clinical operations, support staff development, and enhance client outcomes, while working collaboratively with a team committed to advancing healthcare quality and innovation.
