Description

About us HammondCare provides expert aged care, home care, dementia care and palliative care for older people, regardless of circumstances, beliefs, background or financial situation. We are led by our not-for-profit, Christian foundations and backed by research and clinical expertise. When it comes to our people - those we serve and those who serve - we are committed to inclusion across race, culture, ethnicity, gender, sex, sexuality, religion and ability.

About the role The Data Governance Analyst supports the effective operation of HammondCare’s data governance framework, ensuring that data is trusted, well‑defined, protected, and usable across the organisation. The role focuses on practical governance — helping data owners, system teams and business users do the right thing with data without creating unnecessary friction or overhead. This role is critical to enabling safe analytics, reporting, AI and operational decision‑making in a mission‑led, not‑for‑profit environment. This role takes a practical, hands‑on approach to improving data quality and management, with a strong focus on building consistency, accuracy, and accountability. It works in a supportive and collaborative way with teams, positioning itself as an enabler rather than a policing function. By fostering trust and capability, the role helps drive better use of data to inform decision‑making, ultimately supporting improved care outcomes and more effective operational performance.
