Application requirements
- Cover letter highlighting your relevant skills and experience.
- Up-to-date resume, maximum five pages.
No cover-letter page limit or separate targeted questions are specified. A focused two-page cover letter is a practical preparation option; check the application form for any additional instructions.
What to highlight
Make your procurement example traceable
Choose a sourcing exercise you helped deliver and explain your involvement across planning, evaluation, recommendations and contract execution. Describe how you maintained probity and accurate records while meeting the business need. Where possible, quantify the scope and result without disclosing confidential supplier information.
Show how you balanced service and controls
Give an example of working with a customer or supplier when priorities changed or information was incomplete. Explain how you assessed the risk, clarified the requirement and kept the process moving. Include the analytical or digital tools you used and how you checked their outputs.
Application structure
Use the opening of your cover letter to establish your procurement setting and relevant ICT exposure. Build the middle around a sourcing example and a stakeholder or governance example. Finish with a concise connection to eHealth’s digital transformation work. Your resume should reinforce these examples with your responsibilities, procurement categories and outcomes.
Before you submit
You must have current Australian work rights. Attendance at a NSW office is required despite the hybrid arrangement; applicants living outside NSW need to be able to relocate. eHealth accepts AI use but expects the application to remain accurate and true to your own experience.
Check every requested document and response against the application instructions. Make your personal contribution clear, remove unsupported claims and leave time for a final proofread before 23 September 2026 at 11:59 pm AEST. Return to the official job ad when you are ready to apply.
