  • A clear, inclusive, and adaptable communication style, with strong writing and editing skills.
  • A collaborative mindset with the ability to build respectful relationships across teams, disciplines, and with consumers.
  • Strong organisational skills and attention to detail, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and meet deadlines.
  • A commitment to health literacy, equity, and providing accessible, consumer-centred health information.
  • Confidence in using digital systems, content templates, and working within governance processes and workflows.

At the Women's you will enjoy a culture that is collaborative, supportive and passionate about learning. We have a strong sense of purpose, and engage in meaningful work every day. We offer our people a range of rewarding benefits, including:
