PRE EMPLOYMENT SCREENING

All successful applicants will require a police record check and in some instances a Working with Children’s Check is also required for pre-employment safety screening purposes.

Workforce immunisation

The Yarrawonga Health workforce immunisation program has been developed to ensure the safety and protection of both patients and healthcare workers. The potential for health care workers to be exposed to and transmit vaccine preventable diseases such as hepatitis B, influenza, measles, rubella, and pertussis if not immune is high. Maintaining immunity in the healthcare worker population helps to prevent transmission of vaccine preventable diseases to and from health care workers and patients, and is thus a key health and safety prevention initiative to transmission of infection and disease at Yarrawonga Health.

As a new staff member you will be required to complete the staff immunisation survey and provide evidence of immunity, either pathology and/or immunisation results for certain diseases prior to commencing employment. Immunisation/pathology results should be obtained from your GP and/or your previous employer.
