About the role
As part of Public Health and Primary Care Unit, Primary Care teams deliver services to the multi-disciplinary Primary Care program area. The Primary Care Intake Role supports these teams by coordinating the screening and prioritisation of new referrals. Working closely with internal teams and external providers, the role determines service suitability, confirms priority for care and escalates concerns when required to ensure safe, timely and high-quality consumer experiences. Through holistic assessment of referrals and enquiries, the Intake role ensures consumers are connected with the most appropriate services across Barwon Health and receive person-centred, goal-directed care aligned with their individual needs.
Working within their scope of practice, the Intake role identifies additional services that may benefit consumers and provides information regarding available services, fees, eligibility criteria, and expected waiting times.
The Intake role works collaboratively with Primary Care teams, Information & Access services, and site-based clinical and administrative staff to support effective referral management and care coordination. Maintaining a broad understanding of services across Barwon Health, the Intake Clinician develops strong relationships with key stakeholders to facilitate access to appropriate care pathways and ensure consumers receive the right care at the right time.
