These functions include patient transport services; call taking; triage and dispatch (St John WA); virtual emergency care and establishing situational awareness of demand and pressure across health service providers and St John WA by ensuring collective system-wide access to data, analysis and predict analytics capability.ABOUT THE WA VIRTUAL EMERGENCY DEPARTMENTThe WA Virtual Emergency Department (WAVED) will give patients the option of being seen virtually in the comfort of their own home when safe and appropriate to do so, rather than waiting in an emergency department (ED). This partnership between the Department of Health, Health Service Providers (HSPs) and St John WA provides patients with clinically appropriate alternative care options and help reduce visits to the ED. This will help alleviate pressures on Western Australia’s hospitals and ensure that beds are available for those who most need them.Older adults within residential aged care facilities in the Perth metropolitan area are one of the initial priorities for WAVED as they are at much greater risk of experiencing harm from a hospital visit, such as hospital acquired infections, falls, loss of muscle mass/function and delirium. Further targeted cohorts of patients will be included into the service over the next 18 months.Many other states in Australia have successfully implemented virtual emergency care services, which have proven to be safe, effective and provide excellent patient experience.EMPLOYEE BENEFITSIn addition to the great salary our employees enjoy an amazing range of benefits which may include (in line with operational requirements):11% employer contributed superannuation into a fund of your choice.
