About the role
Do you understand how health and mental health services are funded and want to play a role in bringing new services to life for communities in need?
As the Business Development Tender Officer, you will play a key role in securing government and sector funding to establish, expand and sustain health and mental health programs across our footprint.
This role focuses on health service funding, commissioning and business development, working closely with clinical, operational and program teams to translate service models, community need and evidence-based practice into compliant, fundable tender and grant submissions.

This is a full-time, 12-month position (with possibility of extension).
This role can be based from any GPH hub, with flexible work options available.
