Melbourne, Australia The Royal Women's Hospital Full time

Location: Melbourne | Northern Metropolitan

Job type: Part time

Organisation: The Royal Women's Hospital

**Salary**: Salary not specified

Occupation: Health and Allied Health

Reference: 25755
- **Part time 22.8 hours p/w, fixed term until June 2026 role**:

- ** Parkville location, with multiple public transport options available**:

- ** $102,091.60 - $116,646.40 (pro-rata for part time) + salary packaging + super + 5 weeks annual leave**

**About Disability Liason Service**

The Disability Liaison Officer (DLO) has been created at the Women’s with revised funding from the Victorian Department of Health. The DLO supports the Women’s to achieve its strategic directions by the provision of comprehensive, high-quality care for women and infants with disabilities. While it has operational reporting lines through the Allied Health and Clinical Support Services directorate, it has a broad remit in supporting women and infants/their families who may require additional support during their episodes of care, and consulting with teams who work with them to better understand disability, access and pathways to resources and ongoing care, such as the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).

**About the role**

The DLO will embed systemic support to the clinical teams working with women with disabilities who identify they would like additional support during their episodes of care. It will take the lead on navigating patients through NDIS pathways (for new participants, or those with existing plans which may need modification because of changes in health affecting their disability/conditions and ability to live a meaningful life).

This position promotes and contributes to the development of a culture of learning, reflective and evidence-based practice to achieve excellence in the provision of care to women, their babies and families for a range of reasons. Its purpose is also to build capacity among clinical staff and work to assist with patient flow for our patients with more complex needs and to address barriers people with disabilities may experience accessing care at RWH. The role will have close collaboration with other DLO roles in the Parkville Precinct.

A regular day will see you:

- Act as a point of contact for patients, their support people, and staff for disability support in the hospital environment
- Support individuals with disability who are experiencing barriers to access the health services they need including preventative healthcare.
- Assist people with disability, their families and carers accessing health assessment and treatment including providing guidance to support people with disabilities to access appropriate disability and health supports in the community (including NDIS)
- Advocate for equity for people with disabilities through system improvement and innovation

**About you**
- Experienced physiotherapist/ occupational therapist with experience in disability, advocacy and health sphere.
- Committed to provision of support and care for women and infants with disabilities.
- Excellent communication and advocacy skill set

You’ll bring with you:

- Current registration with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) without restrictions where relevant to your physiotherapy or occupational therapy profession.
- At least 2 years of experience that demonstrates performance excellence (with positive feedback) in leading services that provide exceptional patient
- and family-centred care; and specialist multidisciplinary teams in acute care setting/s.
- At least 7 years clinical and work experience in the disability, advocacy, and health sphere.
- Good theoretical knowledge of a range of disabilities, their common medical presentations, and comorbidities.
- Knowledge of the NDIS system and legislative regulations.

**Our benefits**

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:

- $11,660 in salary packaging benefits, for living expenses, meals and holiday accommodation
