Transcript for Health Contact Centre recruitment video
The Health Contact Centre is a leading provider of health care services providing 24-hour health assessment and advice to people living right across Queensland.
Over 300 staff work out of our office in Garden City.
We offer a wide range of services and provide our clients and callers with exceptional focused care.
Our Registered Nurses guide our callers through a comprehensive assessment of their symptoms using a clinical decision support system. But of course, most of our callers do not need an emergency level of care.
So, they are referred to an alternative, safe, appropriate health care provider or given advice on how best to care for themselves.
Our Counsellors help clients take action and make life altering changes.
We provide intensive training and ongoing support which allows our staff to develop highly valuable transferable skills.
Our workplace is very supportive, and the 24-hour nature of our service allows us to offer flexible work arrangements for our staff.
Our office environment is comfortable and not physically demanding allowing us to better focus on the care we give to our callers.
The Health Contact Centre is also an effective platform for healthcare students to gain real-world experience while they study.
Queensland's population continues to grow, and technology is advancing giving us an incredible opportunity to expand our services.
