You will coordinate and support health assessments, assist in the development of Health Management Plans, and liaise with external health providers, Department of Communities and Justice and other Non-Governmental Organisations (NGO’s) to ensure optimal health outcomes.
Additionally, you will attend multidisciplinary clinic appointments, particularly for cases with complex needs, and provide follow-up support to carers.

**A little about us.**
ISLHD operate four hospital sites on Dharawal Country in the Illawarra: Coledale District Hospital, Bulli District Hospital, Wollongong Hospital and Shellharbour Hospital.
With the ocean to the east and the escarpment to the west, there are also many benefits of living and working in the Illawarra. The contrast between mountains and beach gives the South Coast its own special charm. Life is lived at a slower pace, with mornings spent exploring cafes, eateries or food markets, and afternoons spent at the beach, on bushwalks or at one of many world-class wineries.
