Be alert for online scams and fake job advertisements when applying for roles. This page explains ways to tell a real ad for a position at the Royal Melbourne Hospital from a fake one.
We are aware of false job advertisements and employment contracts that claim to represent our health service. These fake job listings may ask for personal information, upfront payments, or promise unrealistic job offers.
All our jobs are advertised through our official jobs portal. If in doubt, contact us at talentandexperience@mh.org.au or consumerliaison@mh.org.au before you apply.
What to do if you suspect a job isn't real
If you encounter a job or employment scam:
- report it to Scamwatch
- report it within the app or website on which you were contacted
- let us know at consumerliaison@mh.org.au, or through our online feedback form or official social media channels linked in the footer of this website
It's important that you report false ads and online scams when you see them – even if you haven’t lost money or given any personal information.
