Job description

Our participants, Our people, Our purpose

Currently, there are around 4.3 million Australians with a disability. The National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) implements the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), which is one of the biggest social reforms in the country since Medicare. As an Agency, we support more than 600,000 participants with a significant and permanent disability, and the families and carers of those living with disability. For many Australians, this will be the first time they receive the disability support they need. The NDIA is designed to enhance the quality of life and increase economic and social participation for people with disability and will mean a peace of mind for every Australian. 

*Please note - Affirmative Measures provisions are also open for these positions.  The affirmative measure positions are to improve employment opportunities for people with a disability and Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people in the Australian Public Service.  They are open only to people with a disability or Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people. 

A new role awaits

We have an incredible opportunity for a Health Liaison Officer to join our Aged Care and Hospital Interface Branch. The Health Liaison team provide an important link between state and territory hospital staff and the Agency. The team works with hospital staff to ensure participants who are medically ready for discharge have the right supports in place when returning back to the community.

Where you can add value

Health Liaison Officers (HLO) work with a high degree of autonomy and professionalism, in public facing positions, which may require the HLO to work from hospitals.

  • Identify and help overcome barriers to discharge,
  • Direct linkage between the NDIA, the participant and the hospital to prepare for discharge,

  • Experience in working with multiple stakeholders, reading, and assessing complex assessments/reports, 
  • Excellent problem solving and critical thinking skills,
  • Be proactive and resourceful,
  • Preference is for the candidate to be engaging and confident during meetings and know how to build rapport with services and people quickly,
  • Liaison Officer role includes working through systemic issues and developing processes, it is very important they can work with the team and our stakeholders to resolve issues,
  • You will be proactive and collaborative with discharge planning,
  • Candidates should also value good record keeping and be able to handle difficult conversations and most importantly want to work with people involved in the health system,
  • Enjoy a fast paced and dynamic environment and be adaptable.

  • You will work for a socially inclusive and culturally diverse workplace, that is making a meaningful impact to the lives of more than 600,000 Australians.
