About the role 

The Project Coordinator plays a pivotal role in supporting the successful delivery of the People Plus Program — the implementation of a new Human Resources Information System (HRIS) across Barwon Health, Colac Area Health, Hesse Rural Health, Great Ocean Road Health and Timboon & District Healthcare Service.

The Project Coordinator works closely with the Project team and key stakeholders to maintain program discipline, visibility and execution rigour.

• Coordinate and maintain program governance and project documentation, ensuring schedules, RAID logs, governance packs, and project artefacts are accurate, current, and compliant with PMO standards.
• Support program delivery, scheduling, and resource management by tracking milestones, managing cross-stream dependencies, monitoring resource utilisation, and escalating risks or delays.
• Produce program reporting and support risk management activities, including maintaining dashboards, preparing status reports, monitoring performance, and facilitating risk and issue resolution.
• Provide project administration and stakeholder support by coordinating meetings, preparing governance materials, managing communications, and supporting the Project Manager throughout all phases of the program lifecycle.

What we’re looking for 

• Demonstrated experience in a Project Coordinator or PMO role, preferably supporting large-scale HRIS, payroll, ERP or other complex system implementations.
• Strong understanding of project governance and project lifecycle methodologies, with the ability to manage documentation, schedules and multiple competing priorities.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, including the ability to prepare clear reports and work effectively across multidisciplinary teams.
• High attention to detail, organisational capability and proficiency in project management tools, with the ability to maintain confidentiality in a public health environment.
