Eligibility
Are you eligible?
To be eligible for appointment, applicants must have a valid
working visa (for fixed term appointments) or be an Australian
citizen, permanent resident, or have a visa to live and work
indefinitely in Australia (for permanent appointments).
WA Health embraces diversity and is committed to eliminating all
forms of discrimination in the provision of our service. We are
committed to growing the Aboriginal workforce as a part of WA
Health’s Aboriginal Workforce Policy and as a measure to achieve
equality, Section 51 of the Equal Opportunity Act 1984 applies to
this position. Aboriginal people are encouraged to apply.
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.
Whilst this selection process will
initially be used to fill the above vacancy, it may also be used to
fill other "similar" vacancies throughout the health service. In
addition to this, 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.
Lodgement is system
generated. Any submissions on, or after, 4:00pm on the closing date
will not be accepted.
LATE OR EMAIL APPLICATIONS
WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED.
