About ForHealth
ForHealth is one of Australia’s largest and fastest-growing primary healthcare organisations. With 100+ medical centres, 1,500+ independent practitioners and over 8 million patient consultations every year, we are dedicated to delivering high-quality, accessible care to every community we serve.
As a national leader in Urgent Care Clinics, we pride ourselves on providing safe, timely, and patient-centered care for those moments that are urgent — but not an emergency. Our teams benefit from progressive clinical models, strong operational support, and a collaborative culture that continues to set the benchmark as we expand across Australia.
The Role
We are seeking an experienced, confident and forward-thinking Urgent Care Manager to lead one of our high-performing Urgent Care Clinics.
This role is integral to the success of the service — bringing together clinical leadership, operational oversight, workforce coordination, and an unwavering commitment to an exceptional patient experience. You will act as the central point of leadership on site, ensuring the clinic runs safely, efficiently, and in alignment with ForHealth’s quality, governance, and service standards.
This is an exciting opportunity for a Registered Nurse or Paramedic who is ready to step into leadership, or for those already working in ANUM/clinical coordinator roles looking to take the next step.
You will have the scope to influence local service delivery, drive high-quality clinical practice, and help shape the future of urgent care within ForHealth.
This is a full-time position, with an approximate 75% clinical/ 25% non-clinical split, allowing you to remain hands-on while leading operational and people management functions. To support fair and transparent rostering, the role includes a minimum commitment of one close shift per fortnight and one weekend shift per fortnight.

Oversee day-to-day operations to ensure the centre is safe, efficient, and patient-ready.

Coordinate equipment, stock, consumables, facilities issues and site presentation.

Manage incidents, risks, cold chain issues and escalate appropriately.

Oversee business/practice-management tasks including billing queries, suppliers, site expenses, and reporting.

Build strong relationships with local hospitals, PHNs, GPs and community partners to support service growth.

Work in a patient facing capacity.
