Medical Receptionist/ Practice Manager

Company Description

We are a respected and growing Private Practice providing high-quality fertility, reproductive health and gynaecology services to patients across Australia.

We are committed to delivering exceptional patient care through a compassionate, patient-centred approach, supported by leading clinical expertise and innovative treatment pathways. We create positive experiences for patients navigating some of life's most important and emotional healthcare journeys.

As our practice continues to grow, we are seeking a passionate professional who is committed to excellence, continuous improvement and making a meaningful difference in the lives of our patients.

We are looking for someone who is up for a challenge — a person with the right attitude to genuinely make this role their own. This is a lean operation, so you'll be working independently, relying on strong autonomy and adaptability to run things day to day. Once you're settled and established in the role, we'd love for you to work closely with our Specialists to identify and implement more efficient processes.

We are seeking a driven and highly capable Medical Receptionist/Practice Manager to independently run the day-to-day operations of a busy and growing Fertility and Gynaecology practice. This is an exciting opportunity for a proactive healthcare professional to establish and refine operational systems, policies, and procedures to support continued growth — and to put their own stamp on how the practice runs.

Working closely with the Specialist, you will take full ownership of practice operations, patient experience, compliance, and business performance, managing the practice largely on your own.

Key Responsibilities

• Independently oversee the daily operations of a busy specialist practice

• Oversee billing, Medicare processing, private health fund administration, and item number claiming
• Develop, implement and continually improve practice policies, procedures and workflows
• Monitor and improve operational efficiency and productivity
• Maintain compliance with healthcare legislation, accreditation standards and privacy requirements
• Liaise with external providers, hospitals, laboratories and key stakeholders
• Once established and settled into the role, partner with our Specialists to identify opportunities for more efficient processes
