About us:
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.

About you:
The Department of Health is seeking a motivated and capable Project Officer to support key initiatives that improve health outcomes for Victorian communities.

You will be able to convey ideas in a confident and engaging manner, adapt your message to different groups, and actively listen to understand perspectives and confirm shared understanding.
The role requires advanced computer proficiency, including experience using word processing, spreadsheets and other common software applications. You will also be comfortable assisting colleagues in resolving basic technical issues related to these programs.
You will support the delivery of project activities by contributing to the development of detailed project plans with clear objectives and defined actions. The position involves maintaining regular communication with team members, anticipating potential issues, and helping ensure project milestones are met. A proactive, solutions-focused mindset is essential.
Strong self-management skills are critical to success in this role. You will be expected to plan and prioritise your workload, manage competing deadlines and approach tasks thoughtfully rather than reactively. An ability to recognise your strengths, manage areas for development and prepare for challenging situations will support your effectiveness in a fast-paced environment.
