Part-Time (up to 17.5 hours available per week) Commencing Feb 2025 Parkville location with multiple public transport options The Royal Women's Hospital is one of Australia's oldest and most distinguished tertiary hospitals dedicated to improving the health and wellbeing of women and newborns, offering specialised services within maternity, newborn and women's health.
We have strong affiliations to the University of Melbourne, with research and education integral to our role.
Our goal is to be the best place to work, learn and contribute, and to provide exceptional experiences for our patients and consumers.
About the role The Women's is excited to introduce a Public Fertility Services (PFS) for Victorians.
Building on decades of leadership in fertility care, in 2022 we successfully secured funding to establish Australia's first fully PFS designed to provide comprehensive person-centered fertility care to eligible patients.
The focus of the new PFS is to offer high-quality, safe and value-based care that is inclusive and culturally safe and improves access to fertility services for those who are currently underserviced by the private sector.
This includes single people, Aboriginal Victorians, LGBTIQ+ Victorians, people with a disability, people from culturally and linguistically diverse communities, people from regional / rural communities and people living on low incomes.
Sitting within the Women's Health Services Unit, this exciting new initiative benefits from our established Reproductive Services Unit (RSU) and our Andrology Service Unit (ASU).
We will be expanding our services from • Investigations of infertility • Treatments to resolve conditions which affect fertility • Assistance to achieve a pregnancy through IVF, artificial insemination, donor insemination and ovulation induction • Protecting fertility prior to treatments which may damage fertility, such as chemotherapy • Donor Egg and Sperm Bank • Preimplantation Genetic Testing • A partnership-based public service model reaching regional and remote Victoria.
