What if your work could help someone feel more connected, supported and confident to navigate the world around them?

Better. Together. is looking for a Health Linker to help people access the health, community and social supports they need to improve their wellbeing and work towards their recovery goals.

This is a people-focused role for someone who understands that good health is about more than appointments and treatment. Sometimes, the right connection to a community group, creative activity, social support or practical service can make all the difference.

About Better. Together.

Our multidisciplinary teams work alongside general practices to provide person-centred, recovery-oriented and holistic support.

The Health Linker plays a key role in turning those connections into meaningful opportunities for people to participate, belong and thrive.

- Valid Driver Licence and willingness to travel
- Satisfactory National Police Record Check

- Salary packaging up to $15,899 enables you to spend a portion of your salary before it is taxed to pay for things like rent, mortgage repayments, car leasing
- Meal and Entertainment allowance via salary packaging up to $2,650 per annum
- Receive 17.5% leave loading every time you take annual leave
