We are seeking a proactive and experienced Medical Secretary/Receptionist to provide vital administrative support to an established private Orthopaedic Practice that is still in its early stages and growing quickly. This is an opportunity to handle day-to-day patient administration, coordinate clinic sessions, and contribute to the next stage of growth for a high-quality specialist surgical practice.

About the Role

This is a full-time hybrid role with onsite attendance currently one day per week at our Lane Cove rooms (with clinics likely to increase to two days per week onsite) and the remainder of the role performed remotely. The role also includes remote administrative support for our Dubbo clinic, where the specialist attends once or twice a month.

Living locally in or near Lane Cove is ideally preferred to support our growing onsite clinic requirements.

Reporting directly to the Practice Manager, you will work closely alongside the specialist surgeon to ensure patient journeys and clinic days run smoothly.

Run onsite clinic days at Lane Cove,



delivering a warm and welcoming face-to-face reception experience for patients.

Provide remote administrative support for the Dubbo clinic sessions as required.

Maintain transparent and professional communication with patients, referring GPs, hospitals, and surgical facilities.

About You
