Background

About Sharon Tapner

With over twenty years experience in the accounting, compliance and human resource work spaces combined with contract management in the health industry, I have proven experience as an Office Manager, Financial Accountant, Contract Manager, Compliance Manager and Human Resources Manager within the private sector. These roles have been within the financial services, research and development and market research sectors as well as the Victorian Government. In my current role, I am administration manager at South Eastern Melbourne Primary Health Network where I work with various departments supporting mental health providers, GPs and pharmacies via PPE, information and other resources. This role allows me to clearly understand the importance of primary health, particularly with the background of COVID-19. In my immediately previous role I was the Manager of Non Emergency Contracts and Administration (Acting) at Ambulance Victoria which was a challenging and invigorating role. This combined my financial background and risk management skills to ensure delivery of non emergency patient transport as required by the external contractors. In this role I was required to manage KPIs, provide detailed reporting and respond to daily events in a dynamic space. Prior to starting at Ambulance Victoria I was an Office Manager of a start-up company a where I have liaised with diverse businesses and stakeholders in Australia, India and Singapore. This role has required me to develop the business continuity plan, implement all human resource systems and policies, implement Occupational Health & Safety (OH & S) standards, be responsible for reporting to directors and auditors with financial reports as well as managing all office functions. From December 2014 I was appointed the Company Secretary. Other prior roles have required the above as well as compliance functions within the financial services sector entailing detailed analysis of issues and errors, liaising with staff and clients to understand under stand any concerns and action reconciliatory activities, reporting to regulators where required and working with all stakeholders to overcome difficulties and improve outcomes. I have excellent communication skills (both verbal and written) and enjoy working in a diverse role with all levels of business and stakeholders.
