​​​The Ministry of Health typically recruits one or two intakes of new trainees each year.

Applications can only be accepted as part of a formal recruitment process, at which time job advertisements are placed on a range of recruitment websites such as SEEK, CareerOne, and IWorkForNSW. Advertisements will also be placed on the Current employment opportunities page. Applicants are required to submit an online application addressing a number of targeted questions, which ask them to reflect on their experience and describe examples of when they have used specific skills.

The application must include:

  • a current resume/CV including details of health-related employment (no more than 5 pages)
  • responses to the targeted questions contained in the job advertisement​​
  • a full academic transcript for relevant public health qualifications, including details of units undertaken and grades awarded
  • evidence of the right to work in Australia for the duration of the traineeship (e.g. Australian or New Zealand passport or Australian birth certificate, citizenship certificate, or permanent residency visa).
