As the Disaster Preparedness Officer, you will be responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining comprehensive disaster preparedness strategies that ensure continuity of care during emergencies and climate-related events.
You will lead the development of a region-specific Disaster Preparedness Protocol, aligned with national guidelines, and manage its implementation across the primary care sector. Your work will involve close collaboration with a wide range of stakeholders, including local, state, and federal emergency management bodies, Local Hospital Networks, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander organisations, aged care providers, urgent care clinics, and mental health services.
Key Responsibilities Include

- Work with the Communications team to ensure timely, clear, and targeted messaging to internal teams and external stakeholders before, during, and after emergencies.
- Continuously assess the effectiveness of preparedness initiatives, using data and stakeholder feedback to drive improvements.
- Disaster Preparedness Expertise: Demonstrate your knowledge and practical experience in disaster preparedness principles, practices, and relevant regulations.
- Stakeholder Engagement: Provide examples of your experience working in multisectoral partnerships and your ability to build productive relationships across diverse organisations.
