How to apply for the NSW Public Health Training Program

​​​The Ministry of Health typically recruits one intake 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:

• responses to the targeted questions contained in the job advertisement
• an up-to-date resume/CV including details of health-related employment (no more than 5 pages)
  
• a full academic transcript for your public health qualification
• evidence of your 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).​
