Make it about pride
At Western Health, our teams are friendly and supportive, ensuring we deliver a safe, person-centred and connected patient experience. Our work experience students work alongside employees supporting administrative functions and observing the critical work of the hospital.
Make it meaningful
As a student, you will be exposed to a real working hospital environment and have an opportunity to understand how healthcare can be part of your future. We hope this program will inspire you to become a member of the healthcare community and make a positive impact in the community. Western Health would love to welcome you back to the organisation as your healthcare career and studies progress.
Make it about the future
