Relocation Support
Relocation Support

We understand that a successful move involves more than starting a new job.

Relocating to a rural community can be a significant decision, particularly if you are moving from interstate, a metropolitan area or overseas. At Omeo District Health (ODH), we understand that a successful move involves more than starting a new job. It also means finding a place to live, connecting with the community and feeling confident about your new surroundings.

Our team can provide information and practical support to help make your transition to the Victorian High Country as smooth as possible. Depending on your circumstances and available programs, eligible employees may also be able to access external relocation assistance.


How we can support you

ODH can provide information and guidance about:

  • Living and working in the Omeo district

  • Temporary and staff accommodation options, where available

  • Local rental and housing information

  • Schools, childcare and early learning services

  • Transport and travel options

  • Shopping, banking and essential local services

  • Sporting, recreational and community groups

  • Healthcare and support services in the region

  • Settling into the local community and lifestyle

Relocation assistance for health professionals

Some health professionals may be eligible for relocation support programs through external agencies, such as the Rural Workforce Agency Victoria (RWAV). Available assistance and eligibility criteria vary depending on your profession, location and individual circumstances.

Support for international applicants

If you are moving to Australia from overseas, our team can help you better understand life in a rural Victorian community and provide information about local services, accommodation and community resources. We recognise that relocating internationally can be a major life change and are committed to helping new team members feel welcomed and supported.

Talk to us about your move

Relocation support, accommodation availability and local information can be discussed throughout the recruitment process. Our team is happy to answer your questions and help you explore your options before making the move to Omeo.
