Job Description

Better and fairer care. Always.

St Vincent's has been a leader in Australia's health and aged care landscape for more than 165 years. Since our founders, the Sisters of Charity, opened our first hospital in 1857, our services and nearly 30,000 people have been behind some of Australia's most important medical breakthroughs. We are a microcosm of Australia’s health and aged care system and are uniquely positioned to lead and respond to our rapidly changing environment.

We are looking for a special kind of person - a St Vincent’s kind of person. Someone who puts excellence, compassion, connection and caring for other people at the heart of everything they do.

St Vincent's is embarking on a transformation to deliver 50% of care to our patients at home. This means our data must follow the patient across every care setting: acute, rehabilitation, virtual care, aged care and home. Behind this sits a new real-time data hub and governed API gateway, the interoperability layer that lets patients and clinicians view results, manage bookings and take actions, with every action flowing back to update the right clinical system automatically. As we modernise from overnight batch interfaces to real-time exchange, the integration work you do sits at the centre of it.

As our Integration Analyst Developer, you will build and maintain the interfaces that let our healthcare applications talk to each other reliably and safely. Reporting to the Patient & Clinical Applications Manager, you will develop and support integration solutions using HL7 and FHIR standards, from supporting our Rhapsody platform to helping connect systems into each other and the new real-time data hub as it comes online. In an environment where data delays affect clinical care, the quality of your interfaces matters every day.

Key responsibilities of the role:

  • Build, test and maintain HL7 v2.x and FHIR interfaces in the Rhapsody integration engine, delivering reliable data exchange across the organisation.
  • Support the migration of legacy point-to-point feeds onto reusable, event-driven integration patterns as part of our platform modernisation.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve interoperability issues across clinical and administrative systems, keeping mission-critical feeds reliable and efficient.
  • Apply security and privacy controls to every interface you build, protecting sensitive patient information so each connection is as safe as the care we provide.
  • Contribute to interface documentation, standards and support models under the direction of senior integration staff.
  • Work across multidisciplinary teams and interstate locations, contributing to a high-performance, values-based culture.

Things that work for us:

  • Proficiency in the Rhapsody integration engine and experience with HL7 v2.x and FHIR messaging formats.
  • Familiarity with XML, JSON, and scripting languages like Python or JavaScript for smart automation.
  • Exposure to REST APIs or event-driven integration will be highly regarded as we build out our API gateway and real-time data hub.
  • A strong understanding of clinical workflows and a passion for delivering outcomes in a complex medical environment.
  • The ability to break down complex issues into manageable tasks and apply logic to solve intricate system challenges.
  • Tertiary qualifications in IT or Computer Science; Rhapsody or CHIA certifications desirable.

Things that work for you:

  • Grow your career inside a once-in-a-generation modernisation, learning real-time and API-first integration patterns alongside senior engineers who will mentor you.
  • Know that your technical expertise directly supports care that follows the patient from hospital to home.
  • Enjoy a genuine balance with a hybrid model based out of our modern offices in Sydney, Brisbane, or Melbourne.
  • Competitive salary packaging options.
  • Discounted private health insurance.
  • Employee Assistance Program for staff and their families.
  • Access to the Fitness Passport (FP).

At St Vincent’s we value inclusivity and diversity and acknowledge the importance of creating a work environment that is welcoming, safe, fair and impartial and invites people from all backgrounds to join us.
