• Follow internal procedures for eligibility checks, treatment initiation, and discharge.
• Ensure consultation charges are processed at appointment time.

Follow-up Care & Treatment Optimisation

• Conduct follow-up reviews to assess outcomes and adjust treatment plans.
• Seamlessly continue care for patients transferring from other prescribers.
• Action flagged tasks in the practice management system (PMS) promptly, including supply alternatives and escalations.

• Maintain compliance with Real-Time Prescription Monitoring (RTPM) and document outcomes.

Education & Cross-Functional Projects

• Provide clear patient education on therapies, side effects, and the status of “unapproved” medicines.
• Contribute to internal education (content/feedback), participate in clinical discussions, and help refine best practices.
• Collaborate on process improvement projects with clinical and operations teams.

Clinical Documentation & Governance

• Record accurate clinical notes, prescriptions, and plans in the PMS per AHPRA and Good Medical Practice standards.
• Complete mandatory training and remain current with regulatory changes (prescribing, adverse events).
• Perform manual prescription/health management workflows when required to avoid care disruptions.
• Report adverse events to the TGA within required timeframes and complete periodic reporting as directed.
• Notify the clinic of any regulatory communications received.

OKRs & KPIs
