The Organisation:

At Murray PHN, five organisational values – Leadership, Collaboration, Respect, Accountability, and Innovation – drive the way we do business, the way we influence the health system and the way we interact with each other and our stakeholders.

As a not-for-profit organisation, and one of six Primary Health Networks (PHNs) in Victoria and 31 across Australia, we work with rural and regional services and national agencies to not only support health reform, but to develop locally relevant models of care, workforce solutions and to pilot innovative programs.

Whether it’s supporting individuals with chronic conditions, enhancing mental health services, or reducing avoidable hospital stays, our focus is commissioning primary healthcare services that are accessible, high-quality, culturally responsive, sustainable, and importantly meet population needs and prevent disease.

The opportunity:

Join our Strategy and Performance team as a dedicated Coordinator – Workforce Research, contributing to the Commonwealth-funded Workforce Planning and Prioritisation Program. In this key role, you will facilitate the statewide collection and analysis of critical data, identifying community needs and opportunities to expand Victoria’s primary care workforce. Your insights will inform strategies to enhance GP training capacity and strengthen workforce planning, ensuring sustainable healthcare delivery across the state.

In this role, you will:

Utilise qualitative and quantitative research methods to assess community needs for primary care professionals and GP training capacity.
Collaborate with Victorian Primary Health Networks (PHNs) on data planning, collection, and governance.
Develop high-quality evidence to inform strategic decision-making.

What You Bring:

A relevant degree in public health, data analytics, or a health-related field and/or five years of experience in similar roles.
At least two years of health research experience and proficiency in quantitative and qualitative methodologies.
Strong understanding of data governance and accessible reporting.

Desirable Skills:

Experience with tools like NVivo, SPSS, Qualtrics, and PowerBI.
Familiarity with Primary Health Networks and the GP training system in Australia.

At Murray PHN, we aspire to be an anti-racist organisation, embedding cultural humility as a daily practice, to improve health outcomes and health equity in our communities. We recognise cultural humility as a life-long commitment to self-reflection, personal growth and redressing power imbalances in our society.

Murray PHN acknowledges its catchment crosses over many unceded First Nations Countries, following the Dhelkunya Yaluk (Healing River).

We pay our respects and give thanks to the Ancestors, Elders and Young people for their nurturing, protection and caregiving of these sacred lands and waterways, acknowledging their continuing cultural, spiritual and educational practices.

We are grateful for the sharing of Country and the renewal that Country gives us. We acknowledge and express our sorrow that this sharing has come at a personal, spiritual and cultural cost to the wellbeing of First Nations peoples. We commit to addressing the injustices of colonisation across our catchment, and to listening to the wisdom of First Nations communities who hold the knowledge to enable healing. We extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
