Engagement Liaison Officer

The Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (Ahpra) works in partnership with the 15 National Boards to implement the national regulatory scheme for Australia's 870,000+ registered health professionals. The purpose of health practitioner regulation is to protect the public by ensuring that only health practitioners who have the skills, qualifications, and knowledge to provide safe care are registered.

• Why do we need this role?

Engaging with our diverse stakeholders to build trust and confidence in us as the national health practitioner regulator is a key priority for Ahpra. In Canberra, the Territory Manager works with senior external and internal stakeholders and we are looking for the right person to support that liaison work.

This is a full-time, fixed term role of approximately 12 months, with a combination of office days and work from home - the best of both worlds!

Ahpra requires all employees to comply with Ahpra policies, which includes the Flexible working policy
