You might know us a health insurer, but we do so much more! Today, more than 2,500 clinicians (including 500 doctors) provide Bupa health services, including general practice and allied health, dental, optical and audiology, visa medical checks for the Australian Government, and services for Australian Defence Force veterans and personnel.

Now, we want to play an even bigger role in improving the long-term health of all Australians. We’re operating and building a network of Healthcare Centres to help people access GP and multi-disciplinary primary care services from the experts they trust, all under one roof.

You’ll work hand-in-hand with operational leaders, clinical teams, and cross-functional partners to create a more efficient, effective, and future-ready healthcare system.

This is a permanent role, that can be based in Melbourne or Sydney. We offer flexible working arrangements, so when you’re not visiting sites to meet with key stakeholders, you’ll have the option to work from home or from one of our offices in the Melbourne or Sydney CBD.
