About the role

Emergency Department (ED) frequent presenters (FP's) often have complex physiological health, mental health, and psychosocial needs that are not adequately addressed through current care pathways. This can result in repeated ED presentations, unplanned readmissions, and escalating system costs.

Unplanned readmissions within 30 days of discharge are a significant cost driver for Victorian public hospitals. Potentially avoidable unplanned readmissions (PAURs)—often caused by complications from medical or surgical care—represent a high percentage of these costs.

This position is dedicated to identifying, engaging and supporting the work required to reduce frequent presenters and identify reasons for Emergency Department (ED) representation. This role would work in conjunction with Mental Health (MH) clinicians who have expertise in this area as well as Emergency Services (ES) (RAV/VICPOL) to reduce unnecessary ED presentations for this FP cohort and identify issues around representation
