Where you'll be working
The St George Hospital and Health Services is part of the South Eastern Sydney Local Health District.

This will improve accessibility for patients and their carers; particularly for those less mobile or who have chronic health conditions. The KSB will also include three levels of inpatient beds, Allied Health outpatient clinics and an Allied Health staff hub.
