Full Job Description

Company Description

Montu is one of Australia's leading health technology companies, focused on improving patient access to healthcare through innovation, telehealth, technology and evidence-based care. Operating at the intersection of healthcare, technology and public policy, Montu is actively shaping conversations around the future of alternative medicine regulation, telehealth delivery, patient access, and healthcare innovation in Australia.

- Mobilise support for policy changes through meaningful patient group engagement.
- Measure and increase advocacy for the company's policy initiatives.
- Utilise data, patient insights, and research to guide strategic policy decisions.
- Under supervision, research and draft policy proposals, position papers and briefings for consumption by executive government, patient advocacy groups, the broader medicinal cannabis industry and health sector.
Internal Collaboration & Reporting
- Liaise with internal teams to ensure patient advocacy efforts align with business objectives and regulatory requirements.
- Provide insights and recommendations from patient advocacy organisations to inform decision-making and strategic planning.
- Track and report on partnership outcomes, project milestones, and advocacy progress.
