You’re only human. 

It’s a strange thing to say, because us humans are capable of incredible things. And at Medibank, we know our greatest potential lies in the people who work with us. 

We strive to make real, fundamental change, driven by a simple purpose: to create the best health and wellbeing for all of Australia.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Senior Policy SME to join our Risk & Compliance team, supporting a key policy rationalisation and uplift initiative. This is an initial 6-month contract with an immediate start, offering a daily rate of $750 (inc super).

This role will focus on simplifying and strengthening a complex policy environment by reviewing existing policies and procedures, identifying duplication, and creating a clear, fit-for-purpose structure across the business.

You’ll play a key role in:

Streamlining a large volume of policies across different business areas
Clarifying what should be a policy vs procedure vs supporting content
Consolidating overlapping documents (e.g. multiple versions of the same policy)
Grouping policies into logical frameworks and governance structures
Partnering with senior stakeholders to align on a simplified future state

About You

5 + years’ experience in policy governance, risk, or compliance
Strong experience in policy governance, risk, or compliance
Deep understanding of policy structures and frameworks
Proven ability to simplify and rationalise complex environments
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to engage at a senior level
Comfortable leading discussions and influencing stakeholders

Experience in regulated environments (e.g. APRA) is beneficial but not essential. GRC systems experience is also a bonus.
