About us:

Who are we?

• Liaising with PR agencies, including weekly meetings, internal logistics, approvals, time management and post implementation reviews
• Managing PR activity for other Wesfarmers Health activity
• Managing product and organising PR kit send outs
• Developing relationships with media and content creators
• Managing PR administration
