The Team

The Complex Care team is an integral, highly valued tea of multi-disciplinary allied health professionals, applying a collaborative transdisciplinary approach to achieve innovative solutions to complex issues surrounding patients.

Everyone has a different definition of complexity, but for our team, complexity is very much about exceptional circumstances that are above and beyond usual practice for the health care teams working directly with the patient. This means that multi-medical or psycho-social presentations are not routinely considered complex by Complex Care.

Often our patients will have no clear hospital care pathways or sustainable discharge options back into the community, and many systems and services are involved that can lead to fragmentation of care and poor patient experience. The CCC team works with the patient, their supports, and the healthcare team to identify and coordinate care pathways, support patient flow, resolve barriers to discharge, avoid re-presentation to hospitals, reduce the burden of system pathway-finding on health care teams, and promotepartnerships with patients and successful working relationships with the healthcare team.

The Role

We are seeking an experienced allied health professional to join our team based predominately in the rehabilitation service at Launceston General Hospital, to work alongside nursing, medical and allied health teams, and in close collaboration with external service providers, to support the right place right care patient journey and quality outcomes for our patients.

The successful applicant will provide expert clinical advice on care management and systems pathways, complex discharge planning and hospital avoidance for patients with exceptional needs.

You will need

To be an experienced clinician who can confidently lead complex patient journeys, support high-risk discharge planning, and influence outcomes across multiple services, agencies, and stakeholders to achieve safe and sustainable patient pathways.

Candidates should be prepared to provide clinical leadership beyond individual case management, including coaching multidisciplinary teams, driving service improvement initiatives, analysing outcomes and data, and contributing to system-wide solutions for patients with highly complex health, psychosocial, behavioural, and NDIS-related needs.

Advanced clinical reasoning skills, sound judgement in ambiguous and evolving situations, strong knowledge of complex service systems, and the ability to build collaborative relationships, solve problems creatively, and drive timely patient-centred outcomes within a dynamic healthcare environment.
