Dr John Shephard, GP – 3RAR, Holsworthy NSW
“Working with Defence provides an interesting and, at times, fast paced environment in which to work. I find the Medicine stimulating and challenging, with good clinical freedom to practice within a happy team setting. Support is easily accessible when needed, whether it be Specialist advice, para-medical expertise or the full range of investigations. Looking after Defence personnel, injured from overseas deployments or training, is very rewarding - they are polite, motivated and supportive of our involvement. After hours commitments are looked after so that when I go home I can relax and enjoy the other aspects of my life.
CM Health offer exceptional support in achieving all this. They understand the Defence environment as well as the wider medical market. They are friendly, approachable and deal efficiently with all administrative aspects."
Karen Henders, RN – 2HSB, Gallipoli Barracks, Enoggera Queensland
“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.”
Claire Novak, Dental Officer, RAAF Williamtown
“It is very much a privilege working within Defence. Working in Defence has its differences to that of private practice. There is generally no compromise on the facilities available to delivering clinical treatment. The “practice” I work in is a large team with many dentists, hygienists, and assistants, creating a sincere camaraderie amongst us all.
Having previously served as an officer within Defence, it is very satisfying to be able to support the team that does its utmost in serving the nation. Through CM Health, I am able to do this. All dealings are done within a proper contractual framework giving me the best protection possible.”
Michael Gamble, Physiotherapist, HMAS Albatross, Nowra NSW
“Working for the Department of Defence in Australia has proved to be an interesting and rewarding experience. Patients are respectful and punctual, and generally appreciative of the care they receive.
During my twenty plus years working as a Physiotherapist, I have worked both domestically and internationally in many varied environments. Without any exaggeration, CM Health stands head and shoulders above any other company I have worked with.
Factors such as individual support, remuneration, prompt and personal response to any query raised and a willingness to accommodate personal circumstance needs as much as possible have been the hallmark of my experience while working with them."
