Your new company

This is your opportunity to join a forward-thinking government agency at the forefront of digital transformation in healthcare. With a national mandate, this organisation is responsible for delivering innovative digital health services that empower individuals, support healthcare professionals, and improve health outcomes across the country. The agency fosters a collaborative and flexible work environment, embracing hybrid work models and a culture of innovation, inclusion, and continuous improvement.

Your new role

As the Organisational Change Manager , you will be a key leader in driving the successful implementation of a major national digital health initiative— the Streamlining Implementations, Conformance and Connections (SLICC) project . This role sits within a high-performing digital division responsible for shaping and stewarding Australia’s digital health ecosystem.

You will lead the design, development, and execution of change management strategies that ensure the smooth adoption of new systems, processes, and ways of working across the organisation. Your work will directly support the agency’s strategic objectives by embedding sustainable change and fostering a culture of adaptability and innovation.

Your core responsibilities will include :

Change Strategy & Planning : Develop and implement structured change management strategies, frameworks, and plans tailored to the needs of the SLICC project and broader organisational goals.

Communication & Training : Design and deliver targeted communication and training plans that support awareness, understanding, and capability building across impacted teams.

Monitoring & Evaluation : Track and evaluate the effectiveness of change initiatives, using data and feedback to refine approaches and drive continuous improvement.

Leadership & Influence : Provide thought leadership in change management practices, contribute to innovation and business improvement strategies, and support the development of a change-ready culture across the agency.

Governance & Compliance : Operate within established legislative and policy frameworks, ensuring all change activities align with public sector values and standards.

This is a strategic and hands-on role that requires a high degree of independence, sound judgement, and the ability to manage ambiguity while delivering high-quality outcomes in a complex, multi-stakeholder environment.
