- 4-year contract in a HealthX partner aged care facility with other workers from the Pacific region.
- Excellent salary, allowing you to live a comfortable life in Australia and send money back to your family.
- Relocation support including finding a home, settling into the new job and community.
- Ongoing support throughout your employment from the HealthX welfare team.
