National recruitment drive kicks off in July

5 June, 2007. NEHTA stages a national recruitment drive as the NEHTA work program gains momentum.

A national recruitment drive is underway as NEHTA's 2007/08 NEHTA work program gains momentum. The recruitment drive will target high calibre people interested in working in a challenging and rewarding environment and contributing to health reform in Australia. Positions across a number of projects will be available - in particular we will be targeting Business Analysts, Technical Analysts, Project Managers, Solutions Architects, Developers, Relationship / Account Managers, Technical Writers, Policy Officers, plus a variety of Clinical Terminology and Clinical Information roles ideal for clinical or healthcare professionals.

NEHTA, CEO, Dr Ian Reinecke maintains rapid growth has necessitated an aggressive push to add to the highly qualified and experienced people already on staff. Many of our key people have Masters and PhD qualifications in various disciplines including information technology and others are specialists from the health and medical research sectors," he said.

Since NEHTA's inception, the growth in staff numbers has been rapid and recruitment activity has been constant. However, as the work program has evolved, and as many projects head towards implementation, the need to anticipate unprecedented staffing requirements has increased. “Our ability to recruit and retain the best available talent is pivotal to the delivery of our project commitments," Dr Reinecke said. “We are confident that we will be able to attract the people we need to get the job done."

Position details will be posted on the Employment page of the NEHTA website progressively in July and August or enquiries can be sent to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
