Health Administrators oversee the administration systems of hospitals, community health organisations, and large medical centres. They ensure the compliance of organisational billing while maximising profits and revenue opportunities.

As a Health Administrator you could be developing internal policies and procedures for nursing and medical staff, reviewing the annual administration budget, reading an update to the Medicare billing rules, training new staff members on record-keeping policies and compliance, or planning the upgrade and expansion of the practice database and records management system.
