• Keep data accurate. Document results promptly and manage patient records and test data in line with privacy requirements.
• Maintain the equipment. Keep all respiratory and sleep testing equipment calibrated, quality-checked and working correctly.
• Work with other healthcare professionals. Share what you find so each patient's care fits together.

You have hands-on clinical experience in respiratory or sleep testing, and you explain results clearly to patients and doctors alike.

We're looking for:

• A bachelor's degree in Respiratory Science, Health or Biomedical Science, or a related field.
• Clinical experience in respiratory and/or sleep testing.
• Certification as a Respiratory Scientist, or equivalent, in line with ANZSRS standards.

• A current driver's licence and full working rights in Australia.
• A Working with Children Check and police check before you start.

Additional certifications in sleep medicine or pulmonary function testing will be highly regarded.

You will have an opportunity to:

• Work with the latest diagnostic technologies and tools in respiratory care.
• Grow your career with professional development support.
• Be part of one of Melbourne's largest cardiology, sleep and respiratory groups.
• Access team member discounts and offers at a range of retailers, venues and services.
