Selection of applicants is based on merit with all applicants prioritised in the following order:
Applicants will be advised of their recruitment outcome by email on Tuesday 15 October 2024.
There are two recruitment outcomes:
On Wednesday 16 October 2024 successful applicants will receive an email containing a link to accept or decline their offer. This must be completed by 21 October 2024.
It's easy to accept or decline your offer via the link emailed to you. You can also accept or decline by visiting NSW Health Careers, going to My Applications and selecting the Tasks tab to open the offer.
If you decline an offer you will be ineligible for any further offers in this campaign. If you neither accept or decline the offer, it will be assumed that you are declining the offer and will be ineligible for future campaign offers.
If you are concerned about completing your studies in time to commence employment, contact the coordinator for advice.
You must be registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (NMBA) before commencing employment as a registered nurse or midwife with NSW Health. This registration is completed through the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA).
You can start your application for registration 4 -6 weeks before completing your studies. The majority of GradStart positions commence in February each year. It is important not to delay your application for registration. The registration process can take between 2 -8 weeks to process.
Your registration will not be complete until you have successfully completed your course requirements and the NMBA have received all documentation.
Following satisfactory employment screening of successful applicants, employers will send employment contracts from November to December 2024. The employment contract will contain relevant information about your start date, specific location and terms and conditions of employment.
If you need to change your agreed start date due to unforeseen circumstances, or you need to discuss any component of your employment, please contact the relevant person detailed in your employment contract as soon as possible.
If you are unable to supply evidence of your registration within the required timeframe specified by your employer, and prior to commencement of employment, your job offer may be withdrawn.
If your registration with AHPRA is delayed, contact your employer immediately to discuss.
NSW Health employers use the Eligible Applicants’ Bank to fill vacant positions. This may be due to other GradStart applicants declining offers or withdrawing from the recruitment process during first round selections.
The Eligible Applicants’ Bank is available to NSW Health employers from Monday 28 October 2024 to fill any remaining vacancies. Your name will remain on the Eligible Applicants’ Bank unless:
Exceptions made be made during later stages of campaign supporting applicants to accept positions in rural facilities.
Offers to candidates on the Eligible Applicant’s Bank will be made via phone. Candidates who accept a verbal offer will receive conditional offer via email -accept this offer via a link in the email.
The Eligible Applicants’ Bank will remain open until the end of August 2025 or until all positions are filled, whichever occurs first.
All applicants are encouraged to seek feedback. If you are placed on the Eligible Applicants Bank, we encourage you to seek feedback on your interview performance from your interviewing facility. Contact details will be included in your recruitment outcome letter.
Remember, seeking feedback will assist you to improve your performance in the future and assist you to apply for other roles.
