Mansfield District Hospital is seeking an enthusiastic Aged Care Finance Assistant & Finance Support Officer to join our friendly and dedicated Finance Team.

* Implementing strong financial controls and identifying opportunities to improve processes and efficiency.
* Managing the Aged Care Contract Register (NeRA) including fee variations and accommodation deposit changes.
* Ensuring accurate resident financial files, including correspondence from Services Australia.
* Updating the Disclosure Register and assisting with payroll preparation when required.
* Proactively resolving account discrepancies and supporting the Finance Manager as needed.
What You'll Bring
We'd love to hear from you if you have:

* Experience in finance, accounting, or administrative roles (aged care finance experience highly regarded).
* Strong communication skills—especially when supporting residents and families.
* Ability to work both independently and as part of a collaborative team.
* A proactive, problem-solving mindset and willingness to improve systems and processes.
* Familiarity with aged care funding, RAD processes, Centrelink communications, or Proda (desired but not essential).
Why Join Us?
* Work within a caring organisation that values fairness, integrity and accountability.
* Make a meaningful contribution to high-quality aged care in our community.
* Enjoy the lifestyle benefits of living and working in the stunning Mansfield region.
* Be supported by a friendly, skilled team and a progressive rural health service.
