Eastern Health

Eastern Health is one of Melbourne’s largest public health services. We provide a range of emergency, surgical, medical and general healthcare services and have a proud history of serving a diverse community.

Our Employee Value Proposition is “Being a part of Eastern Health means belonging to a welcoming team of healthcare experts”.

This statement aligns with our promise to our communities, patients, consumers and staff that we will be HEALTHIER TOGETHER. Bolder than a vision for the future, our promise calls us to action. We know that working together is the only way we can achieve what is necessary for a healthier future.

About the Role

The Eastern Health Asset Management Team is dedicated to the stewardship of all clinical and non-clinical physical assets across their full lifecycle. We embed robust governance to maintain accurate asset registers, coordinate both preventive and corrective maintenance, and ensure compliance with safety, regulatory, and governance standards—especially the Asset Management Accountability Framework (AMAF) and NSQHS Standards.​

​

By collaborating across the entire organisation, we strive to optimise asset utilisation, minimise downtime, and reduce whole-of-life costs. In doing so, we enable the delivery of high-quality patient care, fully aligned with government policy and health sector standards.

​

The Asset Officer (Portfolio) is an ongoing full-time opportunity that provides early-career professionals with the opportunity to develop practical experience and gain exposure to asset portfolio and asset information management functions.

Reporting to the Manager of Strategy and Assets Planning, the role supports the planning and co-ordination of asset resources to ensure Eastern Health has adequate assets in place to safely serve our patients and clients.

The Asset Officer (Portfolio) supports the effective management of Eastern Health’s asset portfolio with a particular focus on asset planning, capital planning support, and asset information management. Key responsibilities include:

• • Support the development, review, and maintenance of Asset Management Plans and capital-related inputs in alignment with Eastern Health’s Strategic Asset Management Plan (SAMP).
  • Assist in the preparation and coordination of capital plans and asset lifecycle planning data.
  • Provide asset information, analysis, and supporting documentation to inform capital investment decisions and prioritisation.
  • Assist with the preparation of capital expenditure requests, business cases, and project briefs, including asset condition, risk, and lifecycle cost inputs.
  • Maintain accurate and current asset data, registers, and supporting documentation to support capital planning and reporting.
  • Support asset audits, condition assessments, and validation activities relevant to capital planning and compliance requirements.
  • Monitor and assist with reporting on capital-related asset performance, expenditure, and delivery milestones.
  • Prepare reports, dashboards, and briefing materials related to asset and capital planning activities for senior management.
  • Liaise with clinical and non-clinical stakeholders to gather asset information and support coordinated capital planning outcomes.
  • Contribute to capital planning reviews, improvement initiatives, and special projects as required.
  • Undertake other duties within the scope of skills, competence, and training as directed
