EMERGENCY

In an emergency, always call triple zero (000) for an ambulance. Ambulances are the safest way to be assessed, treated and transported to the right hospital for the care you need.

Triple zero (000) is a free call from any phone, mobile or phone box.

For less severe but still urgent situations, go to an Emergency Department.

There are 12 public hospital Emergency Departments in Northern NSW Local Health District and they are all available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Health jobs on display at Tweed Valley Careers Expo
Published: 04 Aug 2023

Job seekers interested in a career in health are invited to the Tweed Valley Careers Expo which will showcase roles and employment pathways available across health services in the Tweed Valley region. 

Northern NSW Local Health District is holding the Careers Expo on Saturday 12 August, from 11am – 3pm, at Mantra on Salt Beach, Gunnamatta Avenue, Kingscliff.

Director of Nursing and Midwifery for Northern NSW Local Health District, Katharine Duffy said the Expo was a great chance for people to find out about various roles and opportunities, from a range of services, in the one place. 

“I encourage anyone looking for a new role, or a change of career to come along and learn about the skills needed to join our team, and how to apply for positions within our local health district,” Ms Duffy said.

“Come and connect with our hospitals and health services, and chat with our staff to learn about the different roles and employment pathways on offer.”

The Expo will feature information from Murwillumbah District Hospital, Byron Central Hospital and the new Tweed Valley Hospital, and services such as Allied Health, Aboriginal Health, Mental Health, Support Services, and Nursing and Midwifery, as well as volunteering opportunities and education partners. 

“We’re looking for cleaners, administration staff, nurses, doctors and more, to support us in caring for our communities in Northern NSW.” 

“Health is an incredibly diverse and inclusive industry, with so much flexibility and opportunity. You can work part time or full time, casual or permanent, and enjoy job security, flexible working conditions and amazing colleagues.” 

“We know our health workforce cares deeply about the work they do, and we care deeply about supporting them, investing in training and career progression, innovation and research.”

Those looking for a new career are also encouraged to register their interest on the Northern NSW Local Health District website.
