Health Workforce Certificates

If the nominated position is located in a hospital – a HWEC is required.

If the nominated position is NOT located in a hospital – a HWC is required.

Please Note:

Each HWC must specify:

• The name and date of birth of the nominee; and
• The position in which the nominee is to work; and
• The location of the position; and
• The occupation.

A HWC can only be used once and must be used before the expiry date.

The occupation that appears on the relevant HWC or HWEC must be the same as the nominated occupation.

Failure to provide a HWC or HWEC at the time a nomination application is submitted is likely to result in the nomination application being refused.
