Who can apply?
Applications are welcome from:

Monash Health Application Process:
All applications must be made via our on-line recruitment system. HMO3+ & provisional Registrar Surgical positions are not in
the PMCV computer match.
During the application process via the Monash Health on-line recruitment system, you will be asked to attach the following
documents to your application:
• Curriculum Vitae
• Cover letter
• Photograph
• Fit to work consent form + 100 points of certified ID (external applicants only – see below information)
• Referee details
If you are a current Monash Health staff member you are required to apply using your Monash Health email address or
employee number as prompted on the on-line recruitment system.
Candidates who have an application submitted to RACS for SET positions in 2016 should indicate this in their application cover
letter.
Applications Open
: 18 May 2015
Applications Close
: 21 June 2015
Anatomy School:
Candidates planning to also apply to undertake a rotation at Monash University as a tutor in the Anatomy School must indicate
this in their cover letter. You will need to apply directly through Monash University as it is a separate appointment. Monash
Health supports successful tutors by allowing them Leave Without Pay for the duration of the rotation.
Note that this placement is paid separately through Monash University and will therefore affect the amount of paid annual
leave allocated by Monash Health.
Rotations:
Successful HMO3+ applicants may be required to undertake Registrar rotations.
Intern Application Guidelines
There is a mandatory question in the online application which requires applicants to identify it they are prepared to undertake
Registrar rotations. Please note this will be discussed at interview should you be interested in this opportunity.
Please review the Position description and FAQ’s and position Description for further information.
Police check
Monash Health policy states candidates must have a cleared police check before they can be offered a position.
Therefore if you are not a current Monash Health staff you must complete and attach in the specified field, a ‘fit2work consent’
form with 100 points of certified ID. You can obtain a ‘fit2work consent’ form from the ‘Position Documents’ section on the
advertisement or from www.monashdoctors.org
The ‘fit2work consent’ form and 100 points of certified ID must be scanned as one document in the specified field.
If you are an overseas candidate, you must attach a police clearance from the country in which you reside instead of a
‘fit2work consent’ form in the specified field.
Please note: the fit2work police check will not be processed unless you are successful for a position with Monash Health.
Current Monash Health staff are required to apply via your Monash Health employee number or email address which will
allow you to bypass this police check process.
Files size too large?
If any of your files are too large and you have problems loading them into your application, use a file shrinking website such
http://shrinkpictures.com/ or http://shrinkpdf.com/ to reduce the file size.
To whom should I address my application?
Surgical HMO3 and above applications should be addressed to Ms Amy Zuscak, JMS Recruitment Team Leader, Monash
Doctors Workforce.
Assessments/References
Applicants require at least 3 references to be eligible.
Candidates will be asked to provide referee details (including email addresses) during the application process. Using the online
reference function, applicants send the questionnaire to their nominated referees who will be required to be complete the
reference online, forming part of the application.
Applicants can view the status of their references by viewing the ‘application history>position applied> references’ section of
their profile and can also amend/resend the referee details should they need.
If you have previously worked as a doctor at Monash Health, our preference is for at least one of your nominated referees to
be a Monash Health supervisor.
Working with Children Check (WWCC)
Monash Health requires all Surgical HMOs and Provisional Registrars to have a current Employee Working with Children Check
(WWCC).
Intern Application Guidelines
Working with Children checks are conducted in accordance with the Working with Children Act 2005 as determined by the
Victorian Department of Justice. WWCCs are valid for five years but can be revoked by the Department of Justice in the case of
certain crimes being committed.
It is the individual’s responsibility to:
• apply for a WWCC and to nominate Monash Health as the employer
• pay for initial and renewal of a WWCC
• keep their WWCC up to date
• advise Monash Health if their circumstances change or their WWCC is revoked
More information can be found via http://www.workingwithchildren.vic.gov.au/
