Eastern Health

Eastern Health is one of Melbourne’s largest public health services. We provide a range of emergency, surgical, medical and general healthcare services and have a proud history of serving a diverse community.

Our Employee Value Proposition is “Being a part of Eastern Health means belonging to a welcoming team of healthcare experts”.

This statement aligns with our promise to our communities, patients, consumers and staff that we will be HEALTHIER TOGETHER. Bolder than a vision for the future, our promise calls us to action. We know that working together is the only way we can achieve what is necessary for a healthier future.

About the role

Step into a dynamic Senior Clinician role within our Community Rapid Triage Team, where allied health expertise is at the heart of everything we do. You’ll work with genuine autonomy while being fully supported by a motivated team of allied health professionals & nurses with regular support of a Rehab Medical Consultant.

In this fast‑paced and engaging position, you’ll be the first point of contact for clients transitioning home after their Eastern Health hospital stay. You’ll draw on your allied health clinical reasoning to deliver rapid triage, functional assessment, goal‑directed planning, and clear discharge pathways that set clients up for success in the Community Rehabilitation Program or divert them to more appropriate services.

Your skills in identifying early deterioration and escalating promptly will help prevent avoidable readmissions and ensure each client receives timely, safe, and effective care. Collaboration is central in this role—you’ll work closely with CRP therapists, medical staff, and key community partners to design holistic, person‑centred plans that genuinely support recovery and independence.

If you’re energised by fast clinical decision‑making, thrive in a supportive multidisciplinary environment, and want to make a tangible impact on client outcomes, this role offers an exciting opportunity to put your allied health expertise into action.

About you

Deliver targeted therapies and supports for clients, including complex presentations and frail clients in the community.

Apply strong clinical reasoning to holistic assessments and goal‑oriented plans.

Identify risks early and implement effective management strategies.

Collaborate seamlessly with referrers, CRP, Post‑Acute Care teams and key stakeholders.

Drive innovation through evidence‑informed practice and quality improvement.

Provide high‑quality, coordinated care across home and centre‑based settings.

Contribute actively to a dynamic interdisciplinary team.

Manage competing demands with excellent organisation and professional accountability.
