What You’ll Do
- Lead revenue strategies, policies and business rules that improve performance, compliance and consistency across the organisation.
- Oversee billing, invoicing and debt management so they are timely, accurate and compliant.
- Build governance frameworks, internal controls and assurance processes aligned with Medicare, NHRA and relevant legislation, and respond to policy and funding changes.
- Work with Digital and ICT teams to prioritise system fixes and improve revenue systems.
- Lead and develop your managers and teams, including workforce planning and capability building.
- Represent Patient Accounts on senior committees and working groups.
- Monitor and report on revenue performance, using data and analytics to support good decisions.
- Lead improvement initiatives that lift revenue capture, efficiency and the patient experience.
What You’ll Bring
- Tertiary qualifications in business, finance, health administration or a related field.
- At least five years’ experience in healthcare or finance, including at least two years as a Revenue Manager.
- A thorough understanding of NHRA, MBS and Medicare billing rules for public facilities.
- Experience with hospital systems such as PBRC IE and DHR.
- A track record leading revenue functions and managing managers in a complex organisation.
- Strong analytical skills, with the ability to turn complex data into practical insights.
