Mrs Beer said working at a regional hospital comes with distinct advantages.

With more than 1000 staff, ERH provides hospital, aged care and community health services, and is growing as a sub-regional teaching health service.
For those considering a career in health, Mrs Beer said there were pathways to suit a range of backgrounds.
“We have roles that require formal and recognised qualifications prior to starting, and a lot of those offer a structured graduate-type year that people can apply for after they have finished studies,” she said.
“We also have roles in which people can learn on the job, and we welcome people with similar experience or a passion to help others.”

Those wanting to explore working at ERH before committing could do so through several programs.
“We have a structured work experience program, a dedicated volunteer department, and ERH partners with a number of tertiary facilities to host student placements across all courses,” Mrs Beer said.
Allied health roles remain among the hardest to fill in regional areas.
“Roles like speech pathologist, podiatrist, and health information managers are in high demand,” Mrs Beer said.
“These roles require a university degree and we are competing with the private market for applicants also.”
