The future of regional health care
If you're a school student with an interest in a career in health care, we have a range of programs available to help develop your skills and interest in any field within health.
Learn about our programs including work experience and school-based traineeships for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students.
High School Students
High schools across Southern NSW will generate future health employees.
To provide entry level opportunities for high school students into our Local Health District (LHD), work experience and school-based traineeships will be made available annually.
Work Experience
A week of work experience with our staff at one of our 14 facilities can provide high school students with a taste of what it’s like to work in health.
All placements need to be negotiated by high schools (Careers Advisors) and will be accepted at the discretion of the site/facility manager.
School Based Traineeships (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander)
In partnership with the NSW Department of Industry’s Elsa Dixon Aboriginal Employment Program (EDAEP), school-based traineeships are available to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students in Years 10-12.
Eligible Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students will be invited to apply for a school-based traineeship, which provides:
- part-time employment (1 day a week released from school) at a local health facility
- entry into a Certificate III vocational qualification with NSW TAFE
- on-the-job support and mentoring
- increased casual employment opportunities post completion.
All school-based traineeships will be accepted at the discretion of the site/facility manager. Contact us for more information.
