Salary Packaging
Salary packaging is a simple way for our staff to increase their take home pay by reducing their taxable income and therefore the amount of tax they pay.
You can salary package expenses such as home mortgage, school fees, credit cards, or novated lease. Meal and Entertainment reimbursement is also available.

Workplace Giving Program
We are fortunate in Australia to have one of the best health care systems in the world. As part of our commitment to improving healthcare services globally, our District has a Workplace Giving Program. Each week, a number of our staff give generously to support the excellent work of Valerie Browning AM and Dr Andrew Browning in Ethiopia through the Barbara May Foundation. A commitment of $1 a week from staff provides a monthly donation which covers the entire running costs of a Maternity Hospital in Ethiopia. This funding provides essential healthcare, saving the lives of mothers and their babies, as well as supporting education and building infrastructure for the community.
People Matter Employee Survey
The People Matter Employee Survey asks staff to reflect on their workplace and provide feedback on how we can keep making positive changes to ensure Sydney Local Health District is a workplace everyone is proud to call their own.
Staff feedback is valuable in helping the District prioritise those things that are important for our workforce.
