Police check
Monash Health policy states candidates must have a cleared police check before they can be offered a position.
Therefore if you are not a current Monash Health staff you must complete and attach in the specified field, a ‘fit2work consent’ form
with 100 points of certified ID. You can obtain a ‘fit2work consent’ form from the ‘Position Documents’ section on the advertisement
or from www.monashdoctors.org
HMO3 General Application Guidelines
The ‘fit2work consent’ form and 100 points of certified ID must be scanned as one document in the specified field.
If you are an overseas candidate, you must attach a police clearance from the country in which you reside instead of a ‘fit2work
consent’ form in the specified field.
Please note: the fit2work police check will not be processed unless you are successful for a position with Monash Health.
Current Monash Health staff are required to apply via your Monash Health employee number or email address which will allow you
to bypass this police check process.
Files size too large?
If any of your files are too large and you have problems loading them into your application, use a file shrinking website such
http://shrinkpictures.com/ or http://shrinkpdf.com/ to reduce the file size.
To whom should I address my application?
General HMO3+ applications should be addressed to Ms Olivia Paton, Allocations Coordinator of Junior Medical Staff, for Monash
Doctors Workforce.
Assessments/References

Candidates will be asked to provide referee details (including email addresses) during the application process. Using the online

Applicants can view the status of their references by viewing the ‘application history>position applied> references’ section of their

If you have previously worked as a doctor at Monash Health, our preference is for at least one of your nominated referees to be a
Monash Health supervisor.
