**A little about us.**

ISLHD operate four hospital sites on Dharawal Country in the Illawarra: Coledale Hospital, Bulli Hospital, Wollongong Hospital and Shellharbour Hospital.

With the ocean to the east and the escarpment to the west, there are also many benefits of living and working in the Illawarra. The contrast between mountains and beach gives the South Coast its own special charm. Life is lived at a slower pace, with mornings spent exploring cafes, eateries or food markets, and afternoons spent at the beach, on bushwalks or at one of many world-class wineries.

**Benefits of working with ISLHD.**

We understand that balancing career aspirations with the demand of the everyday, as well as maintaining a healthy work-life balance, can be a challenge. To help with this, we offer a range of benefits which include:

- Allocated Days Off (ADO) - once a month take a paid day off (eligible full-time employees)
- Salary packaging - less tax and more take-home pay
- Novated leasing - lease a car and pay for all running costs out of your pre-taxed salary (eligible full-time employees)
- Fitness Passport - discounted gym membership that both you and your family can enjoy (eligible employees)
- Employee Assistance Program (EAP) - free confidential and professional assistance for staff and their families
- Discounted health insurance is available through a number of different private health insurance providers. Talk to your provider today for more information
- Career progression, professional development and secondment opportunities
- Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW) membership (or eligibility to apply)
- Working With Children Check (WWCC)
- NSW Drivers Licence
- Applicable vaccination requirements for a Category A role.
