Position Summary

The Medical Administration Officer (MAO) is an integral member of the multi-disciplinary team at Peter Mac, providing first line contact for patients, carers and referrers.

The MAO is responsible for enabling patient access to our services. This includes patient registration, referral/appointment management, access and support service bookings, appointment instruction clarification and resolution of questions about how to organise, and make changes to, appointments. MAOs also work closely with clinical specialists to ensure that urgent patients are identified and prioritised, ensuring rapid access to registration, appointments and clinical care.

The MAO supports communication between patients and their clinical care team. They are expert in supporting patient flow through the cancer care system, playing an important role in facilitating timely patient access. This also includes providing patients with information on inter-hospital medical information disclosure and facilitating initial consultation billing for non-Medicare eligible patients.

MAOs ensure that diagnostic, treatment and clinic review appointments are appropriately timed, sequenced and coordinated. Where clinically appropriate, MAOs ensure that multiple appointments are booked on the same day and or/ face to face consultation are replaced with video/telehealth consultations, to reduce the patients’ travel burden.

The MAO works closely with clinicians regarding daily work priorities, including effective appointment management to ensure clinical services run smoothly. In addition, the MAOs utilise Peter Mac’s and, where applicable, partner service providers clinical systems to provide administrative support for all clinic attendances, ensuring all required patient diagnostic and pre- treatment assessment data is sourced, prepared and available.

MAOs are also responsible for patient and billing data accuracy and timely correction of errors to support hospital requirements.
