**About the role**:
The Planned Care Recovery and Reform Program is responsible for continuing to drive best practice across the planned patient journey. This cuts across both co-design and delivery of system reform through to system governance and accountability, underpinned by a focus on equity and priority populations (such as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Victorians and Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Victorians) to ensure timely and equitable access to planned care for all Victorian consumers.
The Policy Officer, Reform Design and Delivery, will contribute to the identification, development and implementation of initiatives to reform the planned care systems (planned surgery and outpatient care), whilst building strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders who represent a workforce, consumer and government lens. Front and centre of this is the implementation of the Planned Surgery Reform Blueprint, containing ten key reforms to reshape the Victorian planned surgery system. Additionally, the unit leads priority projects and election commitments, such as the 10,800 laparoscopies for endometriosis and associated conditions initiative and the Metro CRM Project, as well as providing oversight and management of 8 Delivery and Innovation Teams and 23 Patient Support Units (who are health service based planned care recovery and reform entities), which drive on the ground improvement.
Demonstrating relevant experience and expertise in health systems, government processes, stakeholder consultation, policy design, and program implementation, this role will provide the opportunity to engage with a wide range of stakeholders and impart enduring reform in the healthcare sector. You will work closely with team members and other partners to coordinate advice on cross-portfolio strategic policy issues, corporate, budget, staffing, governance and financial matters.
