Introduction
The Casual Administration Officer at Northern Sydney Local Health District works within Hornsby Ku-ring-gai Hospital. As part of the casual pool, you can support different areas of the facility and work alongside multidisciplinary teams. The administration includes patient transfers and discharges, so accurate information and a professional manner matter throughout the day.
When planning how to apply for Casual Administration Officer, prepare evidence for three clear criteria: communication, self-management and computer accuracy. The recruitment also asks you to upload occupational screening forms with your application. Set aside time for those forms as well as your written evidence.
This role suits an administrator who can join different teams, organise work independently and stay careful with patient records. Explain how you checked entries, resolved uncertainty and kept colleagues informed. A relevant example of accurate work under pressure will be more useful than a broad claim that you are good with computers.
