Representatives from the Department of Health and Brand Tasmania are in the UK to recruit health workers for the state.
The recruitment drive at the Healthcare Job Fair in London aims to address shortages in the state’s health workforce.
By promoting Tasmania as an attractive place to live and work, Secretary of the Department of Health Kathrine Morgan-Wicks hopes Brits will make the move.
“We are continuing to actively recruit both locally and nationally for additional healthcare workers, with international recruitment also forming part of our long-term Health Workforce 2040 strategy,” Ms Morgan-Wicks said.
“By having a presence at international Healthcare Job Fairs such as the one in London this week, we are increasing awareness of Tasmania as a destination among healthcare workers and highlighting the career opportunities available here.”
“We have found that health workers from the UK looking for a better work-life balance have found moving to Tasmania to be a fulfilling and rewarding experience.”
The recruitment is targeting various health professionals, including medical practitioners, nurses, midwives and allied health occupations.
