Melbourne, Australia Western Health Full time

Location: Melbourne | Western Metropolitan

Job type: Not provided

Organisation: Western Health

**Salary**: Salary not specified

Occupation: Administration/Secretarial

Reference: 48128

The Freedom of Information (FOI) unit of Western Health processes over 1500 requests for medical records each year. Based at Footscray Hospital, the FOI unit is a small but busy function providing an essential service for patients Mondays to Fridays.

Given the small size of the team, access to reliable and capacble casual clerical staff is important to allow the consistency of service throughout the year.

We are looking to recruit a couple of casual employees to be available on an ad hoc basis to support the FOI unit's permanent staff. Typically, casual support is required during periods of higher volumes of FOI requests, when staff are on leave and when there are requests for copies of older, hardcopy archived records. Typical tasks would include photcopying, scanning and recording requests in the FOI management system.

Prior work experience and understanding of the FOI process is not required, the successful applicants will be trained in FOI processes.

Please refer to the Position Description for more information.
