Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What happens after I submit my Expression of Interest?
A: The Work For Us team will receive your expression of interest form and CV and perform an initial assessment of the expression of interest.  The team will provide feedback to you based on this assessment.

If your EOI is assessed as suitable, your details will be circulated throughout Queensland Health & representatives from individual Districts may contact you directly.  The Work For Us Team will regularly follow up the progress of your EOI and contact you further when information becomes available. 

Your EOI will be circulated for a total of 12 months, as per the Terms and Conditions outlined on the form.  The Work For Us Team cannot provide any guarantee that the submission of an Expression of Interest form will result in an employment offer within Queensland Health.
