The Department of Health plays a critical role in the Victorian health system and is responsible for shaping it to meet the health needs of all Victorians. We’re focused on
supporting Victorians to be as healthy as they can; whether through alerting them to seasonal risks like thunderstorm asthma, notifying them of contact with
communicable diseases, safeguarding their drinking water, developing the best health, wellbeing and care facilities in the world, being at the forefront of mental health and
wellbeing treatment or accelerating medical research. It’s all part of the way we partner with the community to help every individual lead a healthy life.
About the role:
The Regulatory Officer supports the assessment of permit and license applications and notifications for the Health Regulator branch, predominantly under the Drugs, Poisons and Controlled Substances Act 1981. These include complex Schedule 8 and Schedule 9 medicine prescribing permit applications, notifications and warrants.

The role will also liaise with Health Regulator compliance leads as needed on permit and licensing applications that require a physical visit to assess such as Non-Emergency Patient Transport (NEPT), private hospitals, and day procedure centres.

We see it as our job to support Victorians to stay healthy and safe. And to deliver a world-class healthcare system that ensures every single Victorian can access safe, quality care that leads to better health outcomes for all.
About you:
  • Formulate compliance and evaluation strategies to address specific issues related to the effective provision and implementation of required outcomes.
  • Undertake high-level research and investigations into service delivery issues, risks and trends impacting on achieving key business objectives, policy initiatives and operational imperative.
  • Drive continuous improvement in the review and development of team policies and processes.
  • Assist in the development of a risk-based regulatory approach to legislation administered by the Branch.
  • Provide expert and authoritative advice, reasoned recommendations and innovative program options and solutions to complex and sensitive issues.
Qualifications/Specialist expertise:
Additional tertiary qualification in a relevant health field (Ahpra registered health professional – pharmacy/nurse/paramedic/allied health) is essential.
  • Experience in regulatory and public policy work as well as knowledge of relevant government legislation.

What we offer:
