About Health Partners
We're more than just your health partner. As a proud South Aussie not-for-profit, we've had our member's backs (and eyes, and teeth) for over 85 years. This means we know health and wellbeing looks different for everyone, and it's why we're on a mission to create a better state of health for our over 95,000 members and the local community we call home.

As a member-owned fund, we're guided by doing what's right for our members, our people and the broader community. To be a Health Partners member means you're part of something pretty special - we're your truly local, value giving, member satisfying partner.

About The Role
You'll join an experienced team who are as people-driven as they are process-driven. You'll be a big part of the day-to-day payroll action, bringing with you your knowledge and passion for improving processes and overall user experience. You'll also get to roll up your sleeves and help us in our transition to a new HRIS system - making our payroll smoother, smarter, and more compliant for the future. If you're looking for variety in your work and the chance to contribute to exciting projects, this is a fantastic opportunity to get involved and make an impact.

• Jumping in to tackle payroll questions with confidence.
• Brining back up support with precision and energy to our fortnightly and monthly payroll processing.
• Keeping employee records up to date and accurate - from smooth onboarding and terminations to seamless leave management.

About You

• Proven experience in tackling payroll processing with precision and consistency.
• A solid understanding of Australian employment law, and you know the ins and outs of payroll compliance.
• Top-tier communication. Whether it's people or numbers, you speak the language clearly and confidently.
• Hands-on experience in keeping HRIS systems running smoothly and efficiently.
• System implementation experience is highly desirable, with an emphasis on adaptability, collaboration and process improvement.
