Working with Children and Vulnerable People Check.
- Completion of a medical declaration and pre-employment medical (where

required).
- Providing evidence of qualifications.

**Division Responsibilities**

The Medicare Benefits and Digital Health Division (MBDHD) plays a critical role in advising

Government and supporting access to medical services for all Australians by:

- Providing more affordable access to medical services for all Australians through a

contemporary Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) that is based on clinical evidence

and which supports the provision of high quality services.
- Administering a range of schemes that support access to medical services through

improving the affordability of medical indemnity insurance for health practitioners.
- Working collaboratively and constructively with diverse internal and external

stakeholders in a contested and challenging environment that respects the diversity

of clinical, private and public health financing interests, to promote the interests of

patients.
- Support Connected Care with good policy advice for Government, with a focus on

Primary Care, Hospitals and Aged Care.
- Leads Health’s relationship with Services Australia and the Australian Digital Health

Agency to improve delivery of Health Care policy, programs and objectives of

Government.

**Branch Responsibilities**

The Digital Health Branch supports nationally scalable health policies and projects that seek

to create a more connected health and wellbeing experience that places healthcare

consumers at the centre of their health and wellbeing journey. The Branch supports this

vision at both a system and individual level, for example:

- Health System: policy advice, development, implementation, and analysis to ensure

Australia’s health system can harness the full potential of digital technology and

health data sharing to improve health outcomes and the safe and effective delivery

of healthcare services across Australia.
- Healthcare consumers: policies and projects that improve healthcare consumers’

access to their health information to support them throughout their health and

wellbeing journey.
- Healthcare providers: policies and projects that ensure healthcare providers have

access to a joined up, near-real-time view of their patients’ health information at the

point of care. This will support safer and more personalised patient care. It will speed

up and simplify systemic workflow impediments including reducing the information

gathering and sharing burden experienced by Australia’s health workforce.
- Research and public health: policies and projects that enable health data generated

at the point of care, through established feedback loops, to provide deeper, more

meaningful insights about patient groups and improve clinical practice. These

insights will inform health system planning and support the evolution of existing and

new treatments and therapies. Efficiencies will be gained from reduced service

duplication and less time spent on administration.

**Section Responsibilities**

The Legislation and Policy Team has been recently established to support the significant

work of the Digital Health Branch in delivering the Government’s digital health objectives

under the recent Budget. This team will lead and manage a significant legislative change

program to enable the policy and technical projects that will see the safe and secure sharing

of patients’ information to improve the provision of healthcare and support the overall

efficiency of the healthcare system. There are a number of positions available in the team

atthe APS 6level. You may work on or across the following areas:
