About Employee Relations

The Employee Relations team is a specialist advisory service on all things related to the employment relationship including HR policy and processes, advice and interpretation on employment entitlements and provision of case management support for Austin Health Managers and employees on workplace employment related issues.

About the role

This is a hands‑on advisory and case management role supporting local managers, HRBPs and teams within P&C; with employee relations matters across the organisation. You will provide ER/IR advice and support, manage cases end‑to‑end, and ensure the fair, consistent and legally compliant application of Austin Health policies and industrial instruments. Think investigations, grievances, misconduct processes, and helping managers navigate situations that are rarely straightforward.

A regular day will see you:

- Provide timely, accurate advice on employment legislation, EBAs and policy.
- Manage ER cases end‑to‑end, including investigations and grievance resolution.
- Support misconduct and disciplinary processes, including coaching managers.
- Work with stakeholders across P&C; to resolve issues early (or when they’re already well underway).
- Contribute to ER guidance, toolkits and process improvements.
- Support EBA implementation and respond to industrial and union‑related queries.

About you

To be successful in this role, you'll bring with you:

- Experience in an HR or ER advisory role, or at the very least a keen interest.




- Sound knowledge of employment legislation and industrial instruments.
- Strong judgement and ability to manage sensitive matters.
- Clear, confident communication and stakeholder management skills.
- Strong organisation and prioritisation capability.
