**About the role**:
The Clinical Advisor, Medicines and Pharmacy Improvement Program will be responsible for clinical leadership in the design, implementation and evaluation of the initiative to deliver the statewide medicines formulary.

At the Victorian Department of Health we want a future where Victorians are the healthiest people in the world. A Victoria where our children and people thrive, our workplaces are productive and safe, and our communities are more connected.

We see it as our job to support Victorians to stay healthy and safe. And to deliver a world-class healthcare system that ensures every single Victorian can access safe, quality care that leads to better health outcomes for all.

**About you**:

- Primarily responsible for bringing clinical leadership and expertise to the development and implementation of the Victorian Medicines Formulary including evaluation.
- Chair and be a member of the various governance committees, advisory and clinical groups involving a range of internal and external stakeholders.
- Provide expert advice pertaining to medication safety issues and clinical pharmacology inclusive of formulary recommendations, preferred therapeutic agents, proposed restrictions and formulary decision making. This will include evidence-based best practice, cost-effectiveness reviews and horizon scanning.
- Lead formal engagement between senior sector stakeholders.
- Develop and maintain effective stakeholder relationships and networks with clinicians, professional colleges, health industry, government, consumer and academic bodies to ensure effectiveness of SCV in medication safety and clinical quality matters.
- Provide input and advice on other projects relating to medicines and therapeutics.

**What we offer**:

- The opportunity to perform meaningful work, making direct contributions toward enabling Victorians to be the healthiest people in the world.
- A wide range of growth and development opportunities within the department and wider Victorian Public Service & Sector.
- A strong commitment to work-life balance, including a diverse array of flexible working arrangements.
