As an Allied Health Assistant with Illawarra Shoalhaven Local Health District, you will play an important role in supporting Allied Health Professionals to deliver high‐quality patient care across a fast‐paced healthcare environment. Working as part of a multidisciplinary team, you'll assist with patient treatments and group interventions, transport patients, maintain clinical equipment and therapy spaces, and provide valuable administrative support to the department. This diverse role requires strong communication skills, the ability to prioritise competing demands, and a compassionate, professional approach when working with patients, families and healthcare staff across multiple sites.
Shoalhaven Memorial Hospital is the main referral hospital for the Shoalhaven region, providing emergency care, medical, surgical and orthopaedic services. The hospital has an Intensive Care Unit focusing on high dependency and coronary patients, Children's Ward and Maternity Unit, as well as a purpose‐built regional Cancer Care Centre.
The hospital is currently undergoing a significant $440M redevelopment that will redefine how healthcare is delivered within the Region. Once complete in mid‐2026, the new seven‐storey Acute Services Building and refurbishments on the current hospital site will bring a focus on career development, allowing you to grow your career, acquire new skills and advance professionally as the hospital continues to develop. There has never been a better time to join the progressive and expanding team in the Shoalhaven providing the highest standard of care to the Shoalhaven community.
