Permanent Full-Time

Make a difference through clinical assessment and informed decision-making

At Uniting Communities, we are seeking an experienced health professional to join our Aged Care Assessment Service (ACAS) as a Triage and Clinical Assessor.

This is an opportunity to use your clinical knowledge and judgement in a role that directly influences how older Australians access the care and support they need.

Working as part of our ACAS team, you will undertake phone-based triage and clinical assessments, determine eligibility for support under the Aged Care Act, and identify the most appropriate assessment pathway based on each client’s individual circumstances.

About the role

As a Triage and Clinical Assessor, you will consider the whole person – including their medical condition, cognitive function, mobility, psychosocial needs, functional independence and existing informal supports.

Using your clinical experience and professional judgement, you will determine appropriate assessment pathways and support funding approval decisions. You will also undertake broader clinical assessor responsibilities including Comprehensive and Home Support Assessments and Support Plan Reviews.

Your responsibilities will include:

Conducting phone-based evaluations to determine suitability for aged care support
Assessing clients' medical, cognitive, mobility, psychosocial and functional needs
Evaluating existing informal supports and identifying short and longer-term needs
Determining the most appropriate assessment pathway for each client
Undertaking Comprehensive and Home Support Assessments using the Integrated Assessment Tool (IAT)
Applying sound clinical judgement to support funding approval determinations
Advising clients about funded and non-funded support options
Making appropriate referrals based on each client's identified goals
Completing Support Plan Reviews as required
Accurately recording client information through the My Aged Care portal
Working collaboratively with triage staff, Team Leaders and the broader ACAS team.

About you

You are an experienced clinician who can combine strong assessment skills with empathy, sound judgement and clear communication.

You will be comfortable engaging with people from a wide range of backgrounds, gathering and interpreting complex information, managing competing priorities and making considered clinical decisions.

To be successful, you will have tertiary qualifications as a:

Registered Nurse
Occupational Therapist
Physiotherapist, or
Social Worker

For regulated professions, you will hold current AHPRA registration, or for Social Workers, be eligible for AASW membership.

You will also bring:

Clinical Assessor experience - Ideally you will have completed MAC training and would be familiar with the IAT tool
Knowledge of the aged care and community care sector
An understanding of the physical and psychological aspects of ageing
A commitment to positive ageing and a wellness approach
Excellent written and verbal communication skills
Strong clinical judgement and decision-making capability
Confidence using computer-based assessment or client management systems
Strong administrative and organisational skills
The ability to work respectfully and effectively with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, families and communities
A full, unrestricted driver's licence

Experience working in remote or very remote communities and with Aboriginal people, families and communities is also required for the role.
