This position sits within the Health Independence Program (HIP), which aims to improve outcomes for clients while supporting hospital demand management and patient flow. HIP provides integrated and coordinated care across the hospital and community interface, reducing duplication and fragmentation of services while supporting person-centred care planning.

This position will work across the Community Rehabilitation Centre (CRC) and Rehabilitation in the Home (RITH) teams, with services currently delivered from Kew and Fairfield. Depending on patient demand, you may also be required to work across other HIP hub sites or programs, taking into consideration your skills and training.
