About the Role We're looking for a professional, friendly and highly organised Medical Receptionist to join our Russell Street Clinic in Toowoomba.

You'll be one of the first people our clients meet when they visit or contact the clinic, so your ability to make people feel welcome while keeping a busy reception running smoothly will be important.

Your day will include managing appointments and clinician diaries, answering enquiries, maintaining accurate client information, assisting with recalls and referrals, and working closely with our clinical and administrative teams.

While medical reception and administration will be the main focus of your role, from time to time you may also assist with transporting patients to appointments or services when required.

It's a role with plenty of interaction, variety and purpose — ideal for someone who enjoys working with people,



is confident in a healthcare environment and doesn't necessarily want to sit behind a desk every minute of the day.
