About the role

This position is based at Calvary’s Launceston hospitals — Calvary St Vincent’s and St Luke’s — offering the opportunity to work across both sites within a collaborative, multidisciplinary environment.

Your main duties will include:
  • Lead and coordinate patient-centred discharge planning from admission through to transition of care, ensuring safe, timely, and effective outcomes
  • Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to reduce length of stay, address discharge barriers, and improve patient flow across both hospital sites
  • Liaise with patients, families, and external providers to arrange appropriate supports and ensure clear communication of discharge plans
About you:
  • Current AHPRA registration or relevant credential
  • Experience in discharge planning or care coordination
  • Strong knowledge of hospital systems and patient flow
  • Skilled in communication and stakeholder engagement
  • Ability to manage complex cases and competing priorities
