 About us

 COORDINARE - Southern Eastern NSW Primary Health Network is dedicated to fostering healthier communities.

 We focus our efforts on those who face the biggest inequities. To do this, we collaborate with the community, general practice and other stakeholders to design solutions that make it easier for people to get the health care they need.

 We also use our knowledge and commissioning expertise to attract new funding partners to expand our impact.

 Our purpose is to improve the health of communities in South Eastern NSW.

Purpose for this role

The Primary Care Development team leads COORDINARE in developing and implementing relevant strategies and targeted stakeholder engagement plans.  The team is responsible for working with stakeholders in innovative ways to facilitate and integrate service delivery to improve the patients’ journey through the health system and improve health outcomes. The team is responsible for the provision of practice support, system redesign and other health system improvement projects, pathway optimisation, coordination of care, stakeholder alliances and communications.  

The Health Coordination Consultants are highly skilled in relationship management and are responsible for developing meaningful relationships and engaging with key stakeholders including, in particular, with general practitioners (GPs) in their local area.  In doing so, this role is the relationship manager and change agent supporting the implementation of strategies and initiatives aimed at supporting and/or influencing stakeholders to make quality and system improvements for better health outcomes in our region.  

Whilst it is important that the role operate as part of the Primary Care Development Team and implement identified strategies consistently, it is expected that they will be working autonomously for the majority of their time.  The ability to exercise independent judgment, identify and progress local priorities and demonstrate performance through the achievement of identified outcomes is critical.  This approach needs to be balanced with seeking out opportunities to collaborate, ensuring open lines of communication are maintained, and issues are escalated as required.

• Experience working in health, community services, stakeholder engagement, service improvement, or a related field. 
• Strong relationship-building and communication skills, with the ability to influence and engage a range of stakeholders. 
• Experience coordinating projects, programs, or improvement initiatives. 
• The ability to analyse information and use data to identify opportunities and support decision-making. 
• Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage competing priorities. 
• Confidence working independently while remaining connected and collaborative with a broader team. 
• Knowledge of the Australian health system, primary care sector, or related services.
