If you are a health or mental health professional considering moving to Victoria, a range of financial supports are available to support your relocation.
The Victorian Government supports international and returning Australian health and mental health workers who have secured a role in a public health service by offering a clear pathway into Victoria.
This includes offering an international travel allowance to help with relocation costs:
- $10,000 for healthcare workers who secure a role in a public metropolitan health service
- $13,000 for healthcare workers who secure a role in a rural or regional health service
Funds are transferred via the employing health service, so please speak to your employer about your individual agreement.
For more information and to learn if you may be eligible for this assistance, visit the Victorian government’s Support for international healthcare workers web page.
