As a Communications Officer, you'll help connect our workforce and community to the moments and messages that matter most. From shaping meaningful stories to amplifying trusted health information, your work will support patients, staff and the wider region—every single day.
Every day, you'll contribute by:
- Bringing stories to life through engaging social and digital content that builds understanding, trust and connection.

You're a thoughtful communicator who blends creativity with purpose. You're curious, collaborative and motivated by making a genuine difference. You take pride in telling stories that empower people, improve understanding and reflect the values of compassion, integrity and dignity. You're not just sharing information—you're building connection, confidence and community pride.
Here's what will help you thrive in this role:
- Proven experience creating engaging content across social, digital or email channels.
- Strong communication and relationship‑building skills, with confidence working across diverse teams.
- The ability to manage multiple priorities while staying calm, organised and outcomes‑focused.
- A mindset that values innovation, feedback and continuous improvement.
You'll stand out from the crowd if you have experience with digital platforms, analytics tools or public sector communications, and/or relevant tertiary qualifications in communications, media or marketing.
Above all, you'll bring courage, empathy and creativity—helping deliver communications that truly matter to our communities.
