Macquarie University Hospital, Wallumattagal Campus, North Ryde
Take ownership of theatre inventory and prosthesis management, where precision meets patient care
Are you an experienced inventory professional with a sharp eye for detail and a passion for keeping operations running seamlessly? This is your opportunity to step into a pivotal role within the operating theatre complex at Macquarie University Hospital, where your expertise in inventory control will directly support surgical teams and contribute to outstanding patient outcomes.
As our Inventory and Prosthesis Controller, you will be the central point of coordination between clinical teams, suppliers and internal stakeholders. You will ensure every inventory and prosthetic item and consumable is accurately tracked, reconciled and available when it matters most. In this role, you will use electronic tracking systems to manage stock across theatres, collaborate closely with Nurse Unit Managers on product requirements, and ensure billing accuracy by acting as the key liaison between clinical documentation and the patient billing team.
This is a permanent, full-time position (Monday to Friday, 8am–4pm), based on site at our North Ryde campus. Reporting to the Inventory and Prosthesis Team Lead, you will join a small, collaborative supply chain team within a standalone hospital environment that values initiative, accuracy and strong working relationships.
About the Role
Key responsibilities include:
Verifying patient records and ensuring all prosthetic usages and patient details are accurately recorded and reconciled within the hospital's electronic tracking system (H-Trak)
Processing purchase orders for consumables and rebateable items based on daily prosthetic usages, and ensuring scanned items match supplier invoices
Serving as the primary liaison between suppliers, the warehouse team and clinical staff, managing product enquiries, backorders and sourcing alternatives
Collaborating with Nurse Unit Managers to maintain accurate consignment stock holdings, coordinate quarterly stocktakes and support operation case planning with inventory data and movement reports
Working with the Patient Admissions and Billing team to resolve billing queries, ensuring accurate charge capture and financial reconciliation for prosthetic items used in theatre
Maintaining and creating supplier records and product catalogues, and reviewing consumable par levels to ensure optimal stock availability
Leading monthly inventory review and planning meetings with Nurse Unit Managers
Initiating product recall actions and contributing to continuous improvement of supply chain processes
