In addition to their regular onboarding duties, the Employee and Financial Shared Services (EFSS) Employee Relations team has been rapidly onboarding thousands of health professionals into the NSW Health System for months.
Usually onboarding around 3,500 employees per month, the team saw a peak of over 6,000 employees onboarded in August and 5,500 in September as NSW Health and other health services rapidly expanded vaccination hubs and increased vaccine availability across the state.
Vaccination has been a crucial part of the NSW Government’s Roadmap for easing COVID-19 restrictions, and in response to NSW vaccination mandates for healthcare workers and the easing of restrictions from 70 percent fully vaccinated NSW rates, a significant increase in staffing was required.
The Vaccination Centres and other hubs across the state have required the staffing and onboarding of various health professionals including nurses, doctors, and administration staff.
Employee Services Associate Director Michael Tjiputra said, “I am really proud of what our team has been able to achieve and role we have played to support the roadmap for easing COVID-19 restrictions and keeping our community safe.”
