Be the leader who shapes the future of rural health.
Are you a seasoned healthcare manager with a clear vision and the drive to make a lasting impact? This is your once-in-a-career opportunity to lead a rural hospital through a major transformation and to one day reflect with pride and say, "I helped shape that."
With a $105 million redevelopment of Moree District Hospital now underway, this role is about more than operations, it's about leaving your mark on the future of rural healthcare. Imagine mentoring your team, implementing new models of care, and working in partnership with district leadership and Health Infrastructure to guide a hospital through generational change. A key part of this role is your involvement in decision-making through various strategic committees, giving you a direct impact on the hospital's redevelopment. Supported by a dedicated project officer, you'll have the resources to shape the future of healthcare in the region.
You'll also be stepping into an exciting new management structure, one that includes a new General Manager and Rural Manager who bring fresh energy, direction, and strategic alignment. Together, you'll have the opportunity to re-shape the Moree team, reimagine local service delivery, and create a cohesive culture focused on excellence, innovation, and person-centred care.
Years from now, you'll be able to share your story, with colleagues, family, or your grandkids, and say you were part of something transformative. That you led through change. That your leadership made a difference.
What's in it for you?
At Hunter New England Health, enjoy a career where you're challenged by interesting work and surrounded by spectacular locations. You'll contribute to the team enriching health in millions of ways every day. On top of this we also offer:
* Be rewarded with up to $10,000 in the first 12 months PLUS up to $5,000 each year thereafter in fortnightly payments under the Rural Health Workforce Incentive Scheme.*
* Relocation assistance and a tailored Welcome Experience to help you settle in.
* Salary packaging up to $11,650 to increase your take-home pay.
* Fitness Passport – discounted gym memberships for you and your family.
* Four weeks of annual leave for full-time nurses (pro-rata for part-time).
* Allocated Days Off to support a balanced lifestyle.
* Up to 14 weeks of paid parental leave.
* Career development and leadership support, with strong peer connections across the district.

• Overseeing clinical operations and service delivery.
• Leading and mentoring a dedicated local team through change and growth.
• Embedding new systems and strategies, including the Single Digital Patient Record in 2026.
• Partnering with the district to align with broader organisational goals.
• Driving quality care models tailored to a rural setting.
• Collaborating closely with the newly appointed General Manager and Rural Manager to build a unified, future-focused leadership team.
This role is ideal for someone ready to step away from the floor, take the reins, and bring strategic vision to life. You'll be supported with a tailored orientation and management program, access to a strong network of regional leaders, and ongoing professional development.
