Are you trained as an Enrolled Nurse or healthcare professional looking for a role where you can use your clinical knowledge without providing direct patient care?

Access Aged Care is looking for a Clinical Data Collector to support our national clinical quality registry. This is a non-clinical position focused on reviewing health records, interpreting clinical information and ensuring high-quality data is entered accurately into our registry.

Current AHPRA registration is not required.

About Access Aged Care

Access Aged Care delivers a co-managed model of care within Residential Aged Care Homes, bringing together GPs, nurses, geriatricians and specialist teams to improve continuity of care, reduce avoidable hospitalisations and improve outcomes for older Australians.

Our Access Aged Care Clinical Quality Registry (AACCQR) collects clinical and healthcare utilisation data to measure outcomes, identify opportunities for improvement and support continuous improvement across our services.

The role

Working as part of the Access Aged Care team, you will review patient records and other clinical information and enter relevant data into the Registry in accordance with established definitions and procedures.

Your responsibilities will include:

Reviewing clinical records and identifying information required by the Registry
Accurately entering diagnoses, medications, hospital events and other clinical data
Checking Registry records for completeness, accuracy and consistency
Identifying and following up missing or unclear information
Applying Registry definitions and data-entry rules consistently
Liaising with nurses and other team members to clarify information where required
Supporting routine data-quality and validation activities
Maintaining appropriate privacy and confidentiality when handling sensitive health information
Contributing ideas to improve Registry data quality and data-entry processes.

About you

You do not need to be currently working as a nurse, but you will need enough clinical knowledge to confidently understand medical terminology and clinical records.

As this is a remote role, dealing with highly confidential and sensitive information, you will need to have a private area to work.

The salary is not based on your nursing level. This is a Data Collection position and paid as an administrative role.

We would particularly like to hear from people who have:

A qualification or background in nursing or another relevant healthcare discipline — Enrolled Nurse training is sufficient
A good understanding of medical terminology, diagnoses and medications
Experience reading or working with clinical records
Excellent attention to detail and a strong commitment to accuracy
Confidence using computer systems and learning new databases
Good organisational skills and the ability to work independently
An understanding of patient confidentiality and privacy
Clear communication skills and the confidence to ask questions when information is unclear.

Experience in residential aged care, general practice, hospital care, clinical audit, quality improvement, health information management or clinical registries would be highly regarded.

Experience with electronic medical records, clinical databases, Castor EDC, REDCap or Excel would also be advantageous, but is not essential.

Why join us?

This could be an excellent opportunity for an EN or other healthcare professional looking to move away from bedside or shift-based clinical work while continuing to use their healthcare knowledge.

You will contribute to a growing clinical quality registry that is being used to understand and improve the care of older Australians.

Access Telehealth offers purpose-driven work, collaborative teams, innovation and the opportunity to help reshape healthcare delivery in Australia.
