Healthcare Australia (HCA) is a major provider of healthcare services across Australia, including allied health, primary care, recruitment, NDIS, care services, and training.
In December 2024, we began providing health, mental health, and wellbeing services across the onshore Immigration Detention network. Our team of nurses, general practitioners, and allied health professionals offer a range of healthcare services, including health assessments, chronic disease management, health promotion, wound management, immunizations, and other primary health interventions. HCA also launched a 24/7 Virtual Care Centre (VCC), offering remote healthcare through telehealth and video consultations to enhance onsite care for detainees.
As the Health Services Manager, you will be responsible for the day-to-day operational and clinical leadership of healthcare services within the facility. You will oversee a multidisciplinary team and ensure the delivery of high-quality healthcare that meets clinical, regulatory and organisational standards.
Working in a complex environment, you will play a key role in managing clinical risk, workforce planning, quality improvement and stakeholder relationships, while ensuring detainees have timely and appropriate access to healthcare.
