The Coxys

Hi we are new to the site so hello to you all was just wondering as we are seriously considering moving to Wollongong or the Illawarra region (are they the same?) We have a visa and are planning to be there by end of August. We have seen that NSW health contracts 3 main agencies to look after employment. As of yet we are unsure of the job situation there waiting to hear back from Healthstaff Recruitment!!! Can any of you shed any light for us is there jobs going there my wife is an ITU nurse and i am a mental health nurse. We are prepared to travel too but not to far 1 hour tops. Cheers me dears Dan

Hi - no knowledge of nursing - but I live nearby. Yes, the Illawara is the same as the Wollongong area. The Illawara comprises most of the coastal towns just south of the greater Sydney area, down as far as Kiama. There's a very large hospital in Wollongong.

The health authority for the Illawarra is South East Sydney and Illawarra area Health Service(SESIAHS). Their website has vacancies listings http://www.sesiahs.health.nsw.gov.au/. my friends sister in law was sponsored by them and works at Shoalhaven Hospital, Nowra in the south of the area.
