Austin Health is the major provider of tertiary health services, health professional education and research across three campuses in the North East of Melbourne and state-wide.

We have a highly engaged, diverse and collaborative workforce that is unified by our purpose, which is to help people live healthy and fulfilled lives.

About the VSCS and SCIS:

The Victorian Spinal Cord Service (VSCS) is a specialised state-wide service that provides lifelong care to people who sustain a traumatic spinal cord injury in Victoria, Tasmania and southern New South Wales.

Inpatient services are provided at the Austin and Royal Talbot campuses of Austin Health. The VSCS also provides community and outpatient programs.

The Spinal Community Integration Service (SCIS) is based at the Royal Talbot Rehabilitation Centre, and sits within the VSCS to provide community-based intervention to spinal cord injured clients from both Austin and Alfred Health.

Community based intervention may include working with the client in their own home, with a community service provider, in their local community, at their workplace or in a recreation facility with the aim of empowering clients and reintegrating them back into community after a period of inpatient rehabilitation.

About the role:
