**About the North Eastern Public Health Unit (NEPHU)**

NEPHU is one of nine public health units in Victoria: three in metropolitan Melbourne and six covering regional Victoria. Together these units form a coordinated network, working in partnership with the Department of Health to deliver a comprehensive public health program for Victoria. The NEPHU is led and coordinated by Austin Health with responsibility spanning approximately 1.81m people living in the northeast of metropolitan Melbourne. We work collaboratively to improve the health and wellbeing of the NEPHU population through health promotion, prevention and protection activity. We do this through evidence informed population and place-based responses to current and emerging health needs and emergencies. In this way we contribute to a vision of active connected and safe communities for all - with healthy places, healthy people and a healthier tomorrow. The NEPHU is proud of its diverse multidisciplinary team who provide a service across extended hours seven days per week.

**About the role**

The Koorie Engagement Officer will contribute to the design, delivery and evaluation of place-based engagement initiatives that support effective public health interventions and outcomes within the NEPHU catchment, with a particular focus on the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community.

The Koorie Engagement Officer will develop capacity within NEPHU and across local networks to promote and embed culturally responsive, safe and accessible approaches and activities across the communications, community engagement, health promotion, prevention and response functions that are consistently delivered in partnership with ACCHOs and community.
