Definitely seems these McGarth nurses are for public patients and no support if you are private. Then if private it seems support depends on the hospital your treated at. So much for equality in Australia.
After i stopped nursing as a career (I was a nurse for 10 yrs) I have always thought the best approach to health care is to be the project manager of your own health.
You have to advocate for yourself and to do this you need to educate yourself in your health issues. If you do this it helps with meaningful conversations with drs etc and you can engage the other health providers as needed. Not easy but in this world nothing is. It's hard work having chronic health issues.
