YOUR ROLE IN OUR FUTURE

Medical Oncology Precinct Navigator

2 Full time / Part time Positions
At the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre our patient care is delivered via a tumour stream model.

This means that a patient's care is coordinated and provided by a multi-disciplinary team of people who have specialist knowledge of a specific type of cancer.

Medical Oncology is a precinct service with specialist clinics at both Peter Mac and Royal Melbourne Hospital.


The Patient Navigator is an integral member of this team, playing an important role in providing the first line response to incoming calls from patients, carers and referrers in the community needing assistance.

The Patient Navigator resolves questions and concerns about how to organise appointments, change appointments or clarify appointment instructions.

They are an expert in supporting patient flow through the cancer care system and play an important role in facilitating timely patient access.


Medical Oncology Precinct Patient Navigators are responsible for coordinating patient care for medical oncology patients within the breast, neuro-oncology and early drug development (EDD) tumour stream.

The role will co-ordinate referrals for medical oncology patients at RMH and PMC, organise internal referrals for cross precinct appointments as required, co-ordinate treatment review bookings for RMH based patients with day therapy, be a point of contact for breast & neuro-oncology medical oncology patients across the precinct and rebook patients when clinics are cancelled for clinician leave.

The Patient Navigator works closely with the breast and neuro-oncology patient navigators and specialist nurses across the precinct.

This position is a fulltime position for 12 months with possible extension, encompassing 80 hours of work fortnight.


Applicants to this role should provide a covering letter outlining relative key skills and experience to assist us with our assessment.
