The Lifestyle Clinic is a multidisciplinary initiative of UNSW Medicine & Health that offers high-quality services in lifestyle assessment, lifestyle change programs, and injury and disease prevention. In addition to its clinical services, the clinic plays a vital role in education and research by serving as a practical training platform for UNSW Health Sciences students enrolled in allied health degree programs.
The Administrative Assistant plays a key role in supporting the day-to-day operations of the clinic by providing administrative support to staff and ensuring the smooth functioning of the reception area.
The position reports directly to the Practice Manager of the UNSW Lifestyle Clinic and may also receive guidance from the School Manager and the Head of the School of Health Sciences.
