In the office
Our work environments aim to inspire with collaborative, creative and flexible workspaces and high-tech meeting rooms. We’re close to local amenities and transport and know all the best places for coffee. We have three office locations across the state with most staff working from our head office in Chatswood. Many work across several offices including NSW Health’s head office at St Leonards.
On location
Our people also work at locations throughout NSW, supporting the deployment of systems or infrastructure at NSW Health sites. Our teams have travelled from Albury to Dubbo, Wilcannia to Wyong establishing COVID-19 vaccination clinics, rolling out medical imaging systems, implementing new hospital infrastructure and other IT solutions.
Working remotely
Many of our staff choose to work from home or other remote locations to better suit their lifestyle. Everyone is equipped with the technology they need to successfully work virtually, and our teams hold regular check ins and social catch ups to keep everyone connected. We provide training on how to work in a hybrid workplace and have detailed onboarding for new starters.
We care about your health and well-being, both on and off the job. The following services are freely available to help make life a little bit easier.
