About Jones Radiology
Jones Radiology is a doctor-owned radiology practice delivering diagnostic imaging services across South Australia and Alice Springs. As a trusted provider embedded in the communities we serve, we play an essential role in the region's healthcare system.
As General Counsel & Company Secretary, you will partner closely with the Chief Executive Officer and executive leadership team, helping guide commercial decision-making while ensuring the highest standards of governance, compliance and risk management.
About the Role
Reporting to the CEO on a day-to-day basis, with a direct line to the Board, you will serve as the primary source of legal advice and counsel for our executive leadership team and Board. In this capacity, you will act as the first point of legal contact across the organisation, providing sound, timely advice on matters ranging from commercial contracts and employment issues to regulatory compliance. Success in this role requires the ability to move comfortably between fine legal detail and broader commercial context, backed by the judgement to provide clear, decisive guidance rather than a list of options.
Key Responsibilities
You will oversee Jones Radiology's legal function, managing external legal advisers while providing commercially focused advice on contracts, employment matters and regulatory obligations across Medicare, AHPRA and TGA requirements. Working closely with our People Services team, you will support employment law and workplace matters, and act as lead counsel on any M&A, financing or corporate structuring work as it arises.
As Company Secretary, you will administer our Board and committee processes end to end, including agendas, minutes and ASIC lodgements, ensuring our governance record meets the highest standard and that the Board is well supported in discharging its responsibilities.
This is not a role limited to contract review and administrative oversight. We are seeking a senior legal professional confident operating at Board and executive level, capable of communicating clearly and credibly with clinicians, executives and directors alike.
