Barwon Health’s Mental Health, Drugs and Alcohol Services (MHDAS) provides specialist care across the region. Accurate, timely data underpins that care. It drives our reportable activity to the Department of Health and our Activity Based Funding (ABF).

As Mental Health ABF Admin Officer, you’ll enter community contact stats, episodes of care and Outcome Measures into CMI (Client Maintenance Interface), the statewide mental health system. You’ll also act as technical system administrator for CMI: correcting errors, managing task allocation, and helping maintain the RAPID/CMI front end.

This is a role for someone who enjoys working with people as much as with data. You’ll work across MHDAS with clinicians, managers and administration staff. You’ll deliver data-entry education and run observation and feedback sessions to build understanding of Outcome Measures and contact stats workflows in the EMR. Working closely with the MHDAS Data Analyst, you’ll identify missing Outcome Measures and report on compliance. Your work will help the service reach its yearly Department targets.

Key Responsibilities

Run compliance reports and audits with the MHDAS Data Analyst, following up gaps and reporting results to managers and clinicians

What We Are Looking For

You’re a detail-focused administrator who is confident with systems and data, and you can explain processes clearly to busy clinical teams. You’re organised, persistent with follow-up, and comfortable working with a wide range of stakeholders.

Demonstrated experience in data entry, data quality or health information administration, with strong computer and Excel skills
Experience with CMI/RAPID, an EMR or mental health reporting is highly desirable
