Manager Environmental Health
Public Health Unit

About the role
The role provides a high quality environmental health service and public health emergency preparedness for the communities across the Western NSW and Far West Local Health District to ensure optimal health outcomes.

Life at Western NSW Local Health District is rewarding, progressive and diverse.

At Western NSW Local Health District, we have built a collaborative, people-focused culture. Our vision, Healthier Rural People - Thriving Communities, provides a benchmark for our partnership and leadership approach to improving the health and wellbeing of people living in regional and remote areas of New South Wales.

The role of the Public Health Unit is to identify, prevent and minimise public health risks to the community: these risks may be infectious, chemical or radiological in nature. They may be caused by other humans, by animals and by the inanimate environment.

Public health staff work closely with general practitioners, community nurses and hospital-based clinicians, pathology laboratories, schools and childcare centres, with local councils and with other government agencies to protect the public health. The team also respond to complaints from the public concerning significant risks to public health.
