About the Role: Under a Commonwealth initiative to reduce pressure on ACT Emergency Departments (EDs) and public hospitals, an innovative model is being trialled. The Primary Care Pilot is aimed at strengthening partnerships between primary care, community-based care, and the public health system to support access and care for patients who frequently attend the ED or are at risk of presentation to the ED or admission to hospital. The pilot is a collaboration between the ACT Health Directorate, Capital Health Network, General Practitioners (GPs) and Canberra Health Services (CHS). The CHS Liaison and Navigation Service (LaNS) will assist in the delivery of the pilot, providing liaison, navigation, care coordination and complex case management in partnership with participating GPs, selected non-GP specialist groups and community-based Allied Health teams. The LaNS is a new service that has been established to improve a consumer's experience and their health outcomes through information sharing, integration of care across primary, secondary, and tertiary services and coordination across health and community services. It focuses on the provision of the right care, at the right time, at the right place by the most appropriate provider in partnership with the consumer and their care supports. The service is comprised of a multidisciplinary team that assists consumers and their supports to navigate the multiple services involved in their care. The service provides and supports patient centred, integrated, and coordinated care. It works closely with acute and community services, and across health and human services, to reduce the challenges consumers and their supports face when required to access multiple services, to ensure the highest quality of care. The Liaison and Navigation Service is seeking a motivated individual to support the work of the team. The administration support officer will provide general office and administrative support to the multidisciplinary team, assisting clients and their supports to navigate the multiple services involved in their care. The administration support officer will act as a central point of contact and coordination for healthcare, social services and clients and their supports and assist in the sharing of information across services. This role requires a high level of time management skills with an ability to liaise effectively with staff at all levels. This unique role is an opportunity to build relationships with consumers, and diverse acute and community services, to anticipate and reduce the challenges that people with complex health needs, and their supports, can face. It is an opportunity to ensure the highest quality of care, information and support is provided when individuals and their supports need it, so that they can navigate the complexities of their care.
