West Moreton Health offers competitive salaries and additional benefits, including:

Salary packaging

Salary packaging, or sacrificing, allows you to deduct some of your pre-tax salary to pay expenses such as rent or mortgage repayments, insurances, motor vehicle operating expenses, travel expenses and more. By reducing your pre-tax income, you incur less income tax and pocket more pay each fortnight.

• extra annual leave for work on public holidays, family leave to care for family members (such as sick children), long service leave, paid parental leave, sick leave and leave without pay to travel.
