  • Work directly with Australian clinicians to understand documentation patterns, clinical decision-making, and coding challenges across private hospitals, and public health systems, and GP practices
  • Ensure regulatory compliance with Department of Health coding standards, Medicare Australia requirements, DVA guidelines, and private health insurer specifications
  • Analyze coding data and metrics to identify trends, accuracy patterns, and areas for system optimization across our Australian customer base
  • Stay current with coding updates including annual ICD-10-AM/ACHI releases, MBS schedule changes, and ACCD standards updates
  • Support customer implementations by providing coding expertise during enterprise client onboarding and troubleshooting

Requirements:

  • 3-5+ years of professional medical coding experience in Australian hospital, clinic, or health system environments
  • HIMAA certification in Clinical Coding or equivalent qualification (university/TAFE clinical coding certificate)
  • Expert-level knowledge of ICD-10-AM/ACHI and Australian Coding Standards (ACS) across multiple specialties
  • Strong understanding of DRG (Diagnosis Related Groups) and AR-DRG classification system
  • MBS knowledge and understanding of Medicare Australia billing requirements
  • Multi-specialty coding experience including public/private hospital, GP, emergency department, and specialty clinic coding
  • Experience with coding audits and quality assurance processes, including accuracy measurement and improvement initiatives
  • Familiarity with EHR systems such as Epic, Cerner, Best Practice, Medical Director, Genie, or hospital PAS systems
  • Analytical skills with ability to identify coding patterns, trends, and systematic issues
  • Adaptability to work in a fast-paced technology environment and translate traditional coding processes into innovative AI-powered solutions
What we offer:
  • Flexible hybrid working environment, with 3 days in the office
  • A generous personal development budget of $500 per annum
  • Learn from some of the best engineers and creatives, joining a diverse team
  • Become an owner, with shares (equity) in the company, if Heidi wins, we all win
  • The rare chance to create a global impact as you immerse yourself in one of Australia’s leading healthtech startups
