The Opportunity

Medibank’s Health Services division is a dynamic and progressive business focussed on in-home and community-based care, virtual care, and innovative service design to meet the health care needs of funders and consumers.

Reporting to the Medical Director, the Medical Advisor role will provide clinical support and advice to Medibank’s Health Services business to enable and ensure the delivery of safe, high-quality health care delivery.  A key part of the role will be to support effective clinical governance as part of a team of medical and health professionals working across the home and community care divisions.  The Medical Advisor will also participate in the development of proposals, tenders, and business cases for new health services and new models of care.

Key responsibilities include:

• Providing medical oversight and input into the complaint and clinical incident review process within Health Services to support a positive reporting culture and ensure outcomes are focused on multi-level continual quality improvement activities.
• Providing medical oversight into the clinical credentialing processes in Health Services to ensure all clinical staff is appropriately qualified, skilled, and experienced to provide the scope of clinical practice they have been approved for.
• Providing ongoing clinical support and advice to clinical managers and front-line staff to ensure the delivery of high-quality and safe service.  
• Providing clinical input into the design and development of new services or new clinical models within existing services.
• Working with operational staff to identify metrics that measure program success from a clinical perspective.
• Ensuring our health services businesses are well integrated with other parts of the health system, including supporting effective communication and continuity of care.

This is a part-time role of 0.5 FTE (18.75 hours per week) and will be a fixed-term contract for 12 months.

About You:

You are an experienced Medical Practitioner with unconditional registration with AHPRA.
