Senior Medical Secretary / Receptionist
Doctor Vein & DRV Skin – Frankston, VIC
Full-time (Mon–Fri) – shorter Wednesday option
Are you the organised, calm, "I've-got-this" person who keeps a clinic running like a well-oiled machine?
We're looking for an exceptional Senior Medical Secretary / Receptionist - not just a front desk person, but a confident coordinator who can manage patient flow, streamline admin, and support a specialist medical practice with professionalism, warmth and efficiency.
About Us
Doctor Vein is a specialist private vein clinic in Frankston, supported by a small, close-knit team and a parallel skin clinic, DRV Skin. We pride ourselves on:
* High-quality, personalised care
* Efficient, well-structured systems
* An experience that makes patients feel looked after from the very first phone call
We're a one-doctor practice supported by two part-time team members - but don't let the size fool you. We're busy, patient-focused, and growing.
You'll play a central role in keeping everything running smoothly.
About the Role
This is a senior front-of-house role for someone who can work independently, stay on top of a dynamic schedule, and manage the entire patient journey - from enquiry to treatment.
You'll be the right hand to the doctor and the backbone of the clinic.

Conversion & communication
* Handling phone and email enquiries with confidence and clarity
* Providing accurate information about treatments and services
* Liaising with referrers, GPs, sonographers and other healthcare providers
Medical administration
* Maintaining accurate patient records using Best Practice software
* Preparing and processing reports, referrals and clinical correspondence
* Supporting both the vein clinic and DRV Skin by coordinating consults and treatment sessions
* Assisting with treatment lists, recalls and procedure coordination
Billing & accounts
* Processing payments and invoices
* Handling Medicare billing & batching
* Managing daily reconciliation and banking
* Assisting with treatment quotes and follow-up
General clinic operations
* Keeping the clinic organised, stocked and running efficiently
* Assisting with forms, letters, scanning and general admin tasks
* Supporting the doctor and team across various clinic workflows
We're Looking For Someone Who:
Must-have

* Strong organisational and time-management skills
* Clear, confident communication (phone and face-to-face)
* Ability to work independently without constant supervision
* Patient-centred, warm and compassionate
* Quick learner with strong computer literacy
* Understanding of medical workflows and clinic etiquette
* Ability to multitask in a calm, composed way
* Able to triage, prioritise and keep things moving smoothly
* Drivers License and car

Nice-to-have (but not essential)
* Experience with Best Practice software
* Experience in vein, skin, cosmetic or surgical clinics
* Comfort with providing patient education in a helpful manner
* Familiarity with Medicare item numbers
* Ability to refine and improve clinic systems and processes
Why Join Us?
* A warm, supportive, close-knit team
