Other
Conditions: WA Health engages staff in positions of

part of the appointment process. As well as undertaking a criminal
record screening and integrity checking, you may also be required
to undertake a working with children check (if required for the
role) and a pre-employment health assessment. We may ask referees
to comment on your integrity and past demonstration of ethical
behaviour. Please note that adverse information does not
necessarily disqualify an applicant but will be considered as part
of the appointment process.

process requires completion of satisfactory Pre-Employment Health
Assessment (PEHA). Any offer of employment with PathWest is
conditional on satisfactory PEHA to ensure you are able to perform
the inherent requirements of the position. An unsatisfactory PEHA
will result in the offer of employment being withdrawn.

also be used to fill other "similar" vacancies throughout the
