​​​​​​​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.

To be considered, applications must include:

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