Flexible/remote work arrangements are available once established.

  • Understanding of medical billing and surgical administration (advantageous)
  • Willingness to travel across Sydney
  • A genuine interest in contributing to both patient care and the broader growth of an innovative medical business

What We Offer
  • A supportive, collaborative team environment built on respect and compassion
  • Above-award remuneration, based on skills and experience
  • Flexible working arrangements, including opportunities to work from home
