The Role

Business Partners are connectors. They are collaborators. They are looking to the future, and supporting their colleagues and stakeholders to do the same.

They listen, craft solutions and bring together the right people to plan and action ways to increase organisational performance.

They are skilled communicators, influencing, negotiating and clearly conveying messages, ideas and strategies for our people and services to be the best they can be.

They drive culture, role model and act with integrity as they navigate the operational landscape with strategic thinking.

In a nutshell they are all about performance and people, the people that provide quality care to our community.
