have a valid working visa or be an Australian citizen, permanent
resident, or have a visa to live and work indefinitely in
Australia.
Other Conditions: WA Health engages
staff in positions of trust and responsibility. WA Health policies
require applicants to undertake a criminal records screening and
integrity checking as 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.
Please note this recruitment process requires completion of
satisfactory Pre-Employment Health Assessment (PEHA). Any
offer of employment with WA Country Health Service (WACHS) 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will result in the offer of employment being withdrawn.
Please see the attached WACHS PEHA Policy for further
information.

fill the above vacancy, it may also be used to fill other "similar"

should the successful applicant decline or vacate the advertised
vacancy, then the next most suitable applicant may also be selected
from this process. Both of these options remain valid for a period
of twelve (12) months from when the authorised delegate endorses
the recruitment decision.
