**About us**

Monash Health is the largest public health service in Victoria, employing over 18,000 people across a range of specialities.

The South East Public Health Unit (SEPHU) is a major component of a once in a generation reform of public health delivery in Victoria. The new system consists of three Melbourne metropolitan Public Health Units (North Eastern [NEPHU], Western [WPHU] and South East [SEPHU]), who are linked with the existing six Regional Public Health Units and the Department of Health (DH). SEPHU is led and coordinated by Monash Health and was established initially to strengthen the public health response to COVID-19 through end-to-end contact tracing and outbreak management, screening and vaccination. The unit enables the integration of care and public health functions, whilst enhancing the ability to rapidly respond to infection prevention issues, new cases and outbreaks within Monash Health and approximately 1.7 million people within local catchment areas. SEPHU’s public health functions are consistently reviewed and improved to meet the demands of our community.

**About the role**

- Providing clear communication to other agencies providing support to people with health risks or high social complexity to facilitate positive health outcomes and adherence to public health orders
- Participate in the development of resources within the unit to support our response to public health issues in our region

Public Health officers work on a rotating roster with the potential for weekend and on call rostering. The incumbent will be required to work in any area at any or all campuses of Monash Health as and when required. Such a requirement may be a temporary arrangement, on an ad hoc basis or a permanent change.
