Why You’ll Be Excited About This Role

At Healius, we all have one thing in common: we’re passionate about making a difference to the health of Australians. Right now, it’s an exciting time to join us as we transform into a stronger, more agile organisation focused on excellent customer and patient experiences, smarter ways of working, and providing a great place to work.

This is an opportunity to step into a true employee relations advisory role, where your expertise, judgement and pragmatic approach will genuinely make an impact. You will work closely with leaders across a large, complex and highly regulated organisation, providing trusted ER advice on sensitive and high‑risk matters.

You’ll balance commercial and people outcomes, help minimise organisational risk, and support positive employee experiences, while being part of a supportive and collaborative People & Culture team focused on continuous improvement and positive transformation.

About Us 

Healius has an expansive network of over 80 medical laboratories and 2000 patient collection centres operating across metropolitan, regional and remote Australia. We provide 1 in every 3 pathology services in Australia, extending from exclusively servicing some of Australia’s largest and most complex private and public hospitals, to small Indigenous Australian communities. This means that you will be working in a business large enough to offer you job stability & security, interstate mobility and the opportunity to fulfil your career ambitions.

What You’ll Be Doing

In this role, you will provide expert, pragmatic employee relations advice and end‑to‑end case management support that enables leaders to manage people matters confidently, consistently and in line with legislation, enterprise agreements, policies and Healius values. Reporting to the People & Culture Manager, you will help minimise organisational risk while supporting positive employee outcomes.

Key responsibilities include:

• Provide timely, accurate and commercially sound employee relations advice across the employee lifecycle
• Manage end‑to‑end ER cases, including grievances, misconduct, performance, disciplinary processes and workplace investigations
• Coach and support leaders on appropriate people management actions, decision‑making and risk mitigation
• Ensure compliance with employment legislation, industrial instruments, policies and procedures
• Prepare high‑quality ER documentation, correspondence, reports and case materials, including supporting Enterprise Agreement negotiations through the preparation of documentation, packs and briefing materials
• Partner with People & Culture colleagues and relevant external stakeholders to reduce risk and contribute to the continuous improvement of ER frameworks, templates and processes

What Type of Person Will Be Successful

To be successful in this role, you will be a confident and pragmatic employee relations professional maybe in your first or second year, comfortable advising on sensitive and complex matters with discretion, integrity and sound judgement.

You will ideally bring:

• Demonstrated experience in an Employee Relations, HR Advisory or Industrial Relations role
• Strong working knowledge of Australian employment legislation, the Fair Work Act and industrial instruments, including enterprise agreements
• Experience supporting leaders through complex and sensitive people matters, ideally within a large, multi‑site or regulated organisation
• Strong communication, stakeholder management and relationship‑building skills

We believe everyone leads, no matter what role they are in. Our ways of leading are the behaviours we expect our people to embody: Customer Focused, Accountable, Collaborative, Credible and Resourceful.
