An exciting opportunity exists for a talented palliative and/or aged care health professional with experience and effective skills in communication, education, health information, research and quality improvement.
The Australasian Health Outcomes Consortium (AHOC) is a research consortium within the Faculty of Science, Medicine and Health which aims to improve services and outcomes for patients through benchmarking of care and treatment and supporting service improvement. AHOC generates robust evidence through its provision of clinical quality registries in rehabilitation, pain and palliative care. The registries provide evidence to guide treatment and care for individual patients, measure outcomes and deliver benchmarking for the relevant health sector.
The Palliative Aged Care Outcomes Program (PACOP) is one of four outcomes programs which make up AHOC in the Faculty of Science, Medicine and Health and is funded by the Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care. PACOP is dedicated to improving the care and outcomes of all Australians living in aged care homes with a particular focus on those who require palliative care and are approaching the end of their life. PACOP works collaboratively with aged care homes and organisations throughout Australia to implement the program to support continuous improvements in residents’ end of life outcomes.
The Palliative Aged Care Improvement Coordinator (PACIC) position is a partnrship between the Southern NSW Local health District and PACOP. As the PACIC, you will play a key role in the PACOP team. This position involves leading and managing PACOP activities, contributing to clinical and professional practice changes within participating aged care homes based on the outcomes of PACOP’s activities.

You must demonstrate strong project management skills, including the ability to plan ahead, prioritise tasks, and meet deadlines in a busy environment. Experience in collecting, analysing, and interpreting data to enhance clinical practice is essential. Additionally, you should have a solid understanding of change management and quality improvement principles within healthcare settings, as well as an understanding of the use of data, databases, and IT systems to capture clinical information.
