“As with many families in Australia, I have family members who have previously served in the Australian Defence Force. CM Health enables me to personally contribute to the health and welfare of currently serving Australian Defence Force Members.
What is it I like best about working here? It’s a safe environment, offering flexibility, job satisfaction and great experience as part of a team of supportive colleagues. I am able to utilise all my nursing skills in a friendly and interesting environment and work with a different model of care.“
