JOB OVERVIEW

BRAIN AID CLINICS · POSITION DESCRIPTION
Patient Enquiry and Referral Coordinator
Owner of the Attract phase

Function: Attract, the first of four phases in the patient journey (Attract, Convert, Deliver, Re-engage)
Reports to: Practice Manager (consultant), for now
Works closely with: Patient Flow Lead (Convert), the clinical team, and marketing suppliers
Location: Remote, Philippines
Engagement: Full-time contractor
Hours: Monday to Friday, 6:00 am to 3:00 pm Philippine time (8:00 am to 5:00 pm Australian Eastern Standard Time). We operate across two Australian time zones, so some enquiries are one hour further ahead from October to April.
Probation: 3 months, reviewed against the KPIs in section 4


1. PURPOSE OF THE ROLE

Brain Aid Clinics provides neuronavigated rTMS and related brain stimulation treatment across two Australian time zones, mainly for people whose depression, anxiety, chronic pain or PTSD has not responded well to other treatment.

This role owns the Attract phase. You make sure every person who enquires is contacted quickly and kindly, and that as many as possible become a referral onto the waiting list. You also build steady relationships with the GPs, specialists and allied health practices who refer to us. Your work ends when a referral is received. At that point the patient passes to the Patient Flow Lead, who books their psychiatrist review.


2. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

2.1 Respond to every enquiry
- Call every new enquiry (web form, phone message, email or AI receptionist) within one business day, oldest first
- Follow the contact schedule in section 6 for anyone you don't reach, and record every attempt
- On every first call, set three expectations clearly: a GP referral is needed to see the psychiatrist; there is a small out-of-pocket cost per session; and the treatment can feel uncomfortable, often described as a tapping or flicking sensation on the scalp
- Send the explainer video and information pack after each first call

2.2 Turn enquiries into referrals
- Send the enquirer a pre-filled referral request to take to their own GP. We never send a referral request directly to a GP on a patient's behalf.
- Follow up until the referral arrives, the person d ---------- not to go ahead, or the contact schedule ends
- Log each referral received in GoHighLevel and hand it to the Patient Flow Lead at the daily huddle, with the patient's details complete
- Pass any clinical question (for example "am I suitable?" or "will this work for me?") to the clinical callback list. Never answer these yourself

2.3 Build referrer relationships
- Keep a list of GP practices, psychiatrists, psychologists, allied health providers and scheme case managers (DVA, WorkCover, TAC) in our areas, and contact each on a regular schedule
- Send approved clinical information, and book education sessions and practice visits for our clinicians
- Record every contact and its outcome. Note which referrers send patients, and how often
- Never offer payments, gifts or incentives for referrals

2.4 Keep the data accurate
- Log every call, message and outcome in GoHighLevel on the same day
- Keep each contact in the right pipeline stage, with source and referrer recorded, so the weekly numbers are accurate

2.5 Report and improve
- Submit your weekly numbers by Monday 3:00 pm Philippine time for the Tuesday KPI review
- Bring one suggestion each week for improving response speed or conversion, such as a script change, a follow-up message or a referrer to approach

2.6 Create and manage marketing content
- Create marketing content across all our channels: social media (Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn), website, email newsletters, referrer information packs, brochures, flyers and online ads
- Edit and produce your own content, including graphics, photos and short-form videos (Reels, Stories, and clinic or educational clips) with captions, music and BAC branding
- Work with external contractors such as marketing agencies, videographers, photographers and designers: brief them clearly, manage timelines, and review their work before it is used
- Edit and adapt contractor content so it is ready for each channel, for example cutting a longer video into short clips or resizing graphics for different platforms
- Follow BAC brand guidelines for colours, fonts and logo use in everything you create or commission
- Plan a monthly content calendar across all channels, and publish on an agreed schedule
- Keep an organised library of approved content, templates and brand assets
- Send all content for approval before it is published or printed
- Check social media comments and direct messages every day. Treat every enquiry as a new lead: log it in GoHighLevel and follow the contact schedule in section 6
- Reply only with approved responses. Never give medical advice or discuss someone's health publicly. Move any personal or clinical conversation to a private message or a phone call
- Never use patient stories, testimonials, before-and-after content or claims about treatment outcomes in any marketing material
- Only use photos or video of patients or staff who have given written consent
- If anyone mentions self-harm, su ---------- or feeling unsafe in a comment or message, follow the safety procedure in section 5 straight away
- Include marketing enquiries and results in your weekly numbers

3. WHAT THIS ROLE DOES NOT DO

- Give medical advice, or say whether someone is suitable for treatment. The clinical team does this
- Book psychiatrist reviews, MRIs or treatment dates. The Patient Flow Lead (Convert) does this
- Handle billing, payments or scheme claims. Finance and billing does this
- Create brochures or advertising content. Approved materials are supplied to you


4. KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

Referrals received (headline)
Referrals received per week, by source (GP, specialist, allied health, scheme, self-referred)
Target: Set with the Practice Manager after month 1 · Reviewed weekly

Speed to first call
% of new enquiries called within one business day of arriving
Target: 100% (never below 95%) · Reviewed weekly

Contact within 7 days
% of enquiries with a two-way conversation within 7 days
Target: 90% or more · Reviewed weekly

Lead-to-referral conversion
% of enquiries that become a referral received, by source
Target: Baseline in month 1, then improve · Reviewed monthly

Data quality

5. SAFETY AND ESCALATION

Some people who contact us are very unwell. If anyone mentions self-harm, su ---------- , or feeling unsafe:
1. Stay on the line, stay calm, and listen.
2. Give them the crisis contacts: 000 in an emergency, and Lifeline on 13 11 14.
3. Call the on-duty clinician straight away on [name and number]. Do not wait until the end of the call or the end of the day.
4. Flag the contact in GoHighLevel. Never add the person to a marketing or follow-up sequence.

You will be trained in this procedure before you take your first call.


6. CONTACT SCHEDULE FOR NEW ENQUIRIES

Day 0: Call. If there's no answer, send an SMS and an email introducing yourself and the next step
Day 1: Second call at a different time of day
Day 3: Third call and a short SMS
Day 7: Final call and email letting them know they can reply at any time
After day 7: Move to the monthly information sequence, unless they have asked us to stop or have been flagged
