- access a range of financial benefits such as rural and remote allowances.
Competitive salary packages
You'll get a base wage, plus bonus payments for each year of service and shift work penalty rates. You may also be eligible for free or subsidised accommodation, and relocation costs.
We provide extra superannuation contributions and have salary packaging options.
Great work life balance
We offer great work life balance and leave arrangements including leave loading and ability to purchase additional leave.
You’ll be part of one of the few health systems with nurse and midwife to patient ratios.
