About the Role:

As an Administration Officer, you will provide friendly, professional front-line services to patients and visitors accessing Taree Community Health Centre and the Pulteney Street Administration Offices.

Your day-to-day responsibilities will include:

• Providing face-to-face and telephone customer service
• Responding to enquiries and providing accurate information to clients
• Acting as the first point of contact and referring clients to appropriate service streams
• Collecting, updating and maintaining demographic information
• Creating service requests and booking appointments using the CHIME system
• Scanning, uploading and managing documentation within internal systems
• Preparing mail-out packs and supporting general office duties

This is a varied role where no two days are the same, and your contribution plays a vital part in supporting both clients and clinicians.
 

About You:

You are an enthusiastic and skilled administrator who enjoys working with people and making a difference at the community level. You bring a positive attitude, professionalism, and empathy to everything you do.

To succeed in this role, you will have:

• A friendly, approachable and positive manner
• Strong written, verbal and listening communication skills
• Flexibility and adaptability in a busy environment
• A cooperative and professional approach, with openness to feedback
• A supportive, team-focused mindset

Support and development include:

• Hands-on training in patient management and administrative systems
