You might think you already know a lot about Bupa.

  • leadership and management experience is essential – you may have been acting in a team leader or 2IC role and are ready to make the move permanently or you might be wanting to further develop your leadership skills with a global health leader

You will also:

  • Be an Australian Citizen

  • Have full AHPRA registration
  • Previous Defence experience will be highly regarded
  • Proficient in computer operation systems in healthcare as ADF uses multiple platforms for electronic healthcare records
