The Royal Women’s Hospital is one of Australia’s oldest and most distinguished tertiary hospitals dedicated to improving the health and wellbeing of women and newborns, offering specialised services within maternity, neonatal and women’s health. Our goal is to be the best place to work, learn and contribute, and to provide exceptional experiences for our patients and consumers.

About the Program

The Cornelia Program is a collaboration between the Royal Women’s, HousingFirst and Launch housing - a new multi-agency service focused on providing support and housing alongside healthcare to mothers and babies experiencing homelessness.

About the role

As the Cornelia Care Coordinator you will play a vital role in assessing and screening women being referred into the program from within the Women’s and externally.

• Excellent assessment skills
• Experience working with women with complex needs in AOD, Mental Health and Family violence
• Experience of working in multidisciplinary teams
