ACT Health is a values-led Directorate. Our values guide our day-to-day actions, behaviours, decisions and communications to successfully deliver the best services to meet the needs of our community. They were developed by us, for us and are unique to our work. Canberra Hospital and Health Services provides acute, sub-acute, primary and community-based health services to the ACT and surrounding region. The key strategic priority for acute services is to deliver timely access to effective and safe hospital care services. The hospital delivers a full range of medical, surgical and obstetric services, including complex procedures in areas such as cardiac surgery, neurosurgery and neonatal intensive care. Strong links exist between hospital and community-based services, as many of the operational divisions deliver services across the continuum of care to ensure continuity of care for patients. The community based services of ACT Health include Early Childhood, Youth and Women’s Health; Dental Services, Rehabilitation and Community Care; Mental Health, Alcohol and Drug Services. In addition, Justice Health Services are provided within the Territory’s detention facilities. ACT Health is a partner in teaching with the Australian National University, the University of Canberra and the Australian Catholic University. The Division of Women, Youth and Children offers a range of inpatient, outpatient and community-based services. Acute services include maternity, paediatric and neonatal intensive care.
Overview of the work area and position: Women, Youth and Children Community Health Programs deliver a range of community-based services to children, families and women. Most of these services are oriented towards primary health care: education and information designed to prevent poor health outcomes; early identification and referral; the delivery of public health programs including immunisation and screening. Some services offer targeted interventions including secondary assessment and therapeutic counselling. Services are delivered within a multi-disciplinary context if not by a multidisciplinary team. This role is responsible for the overarching management of financial, human and material resources and the strategic leadership of the Community Health Programs.
Eligibility/Other Requitements: Mandatory: Be registered (or be eligible for registration) with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) or, eligibility for membership of the appropriate professional organization; extensive leadership and management experience in the health care sector and a current driver’s licence. Prior to commencement successful candidates will be required to undergo a pre-employment Police check.
