The Organisation
When people talk about the Flying Doctor, thoughts generally turn to red‑bellied planes undertaking rescue missions in the Outback. However, the current Victorian story is one that reflects today's challenges for people living in remote and rural communities across the state. While we do still transport people by air and by road, this work is complemented by a range of primary health services that address the most common issues people living in country Victoria face when accessing health care.
Patient Transport offers Non‑Emergency Patient Transport across Victoria and some areas of New South Wales. We work with a large fleet of ambulances and support our transport services with RFDS aircraft.
Patient Transport provides clinical care for people travelling from home to hospital, hospital to hospital and hospital to home, as well as transport to and from specialist clinics.
About the Role

* Develop and maintain positive working relationships with patients and stakeholders
* Perform independently and problem solve within established policies and procedures

This casual role offers a base rate of $30.77/hr, plus casual loading, salary packaging, penalties, allowances, and superannuation.
