Better and fairer care. Always.

St Vincent's has been a leader in Australia's health and aged care landscape for more than 165 years. Since our founders, the Sisters of Charity, opened our first hospital in 1857, our services and nearly 30,000 people have been behind some of Australia's most important medical breakthroughs. We are a microcosm of Australia's health and aged care system and are uniquely positioned to lead and respond to our rapidly changing environment.

We are looking for a special kind of person - a St Vincent's kind of person. Someone who puts excellence, compassion, connection and caring for other people at the heart of everything they do.

You will ensure everything is accounted for by managing the fixed asset register and WIP. Your core task is to achieve ledger harmony by expertly reconciling subsidiary ledgers to the general ledger, swiftly correcting any discrepancies. You will also provide foundational support by accurately coding all invoices to guide budget allocation and actively assist with various projects and statutory returns.
