A Clinic Coordinator runs a healthcare clinic. They handle bookings, records, staff support, and compliance. Settings range from GP practices to specialist centres.
This role needs a mix of admin skill and hands-on healthcare knowledge. Coordinators need to know how clinical work flows to support the health team. Good communication is key for working with patients, doctors, and outside providers.
Most Clinic Coordinators hold a Certificate IV or Diploma in Health Admin. Some enter the role from nursing or allied health backgrounds. People aiming for senior roles may benefit from more training in health service management.
Salaries range from $70,000 to $90,000 a year (SEEK, June 2026). Senior or multi-site roles often pay more. As Australia’s health sector grows, demand for skilled Clinic Coordinators keeps rising.
