It is an arrangement whereby you authorise a specific amount to be deducted from your gross wage to pay for other benefits prior to tax being calculated. You tax is then calculated on the reduced amount of wages. The bulk of the recruitment of junior doctors (interns, resident medical officers and registrars) is done via a centrally coordinated e-recruitment system, where individuals can nominate job preferences within a single online application form. Junior doctors who are offered a job at the end of a selection process will be employed directly by the HHS. All employment paperwork, orientation activities and payment of salaries will be coordinated through the HHS.
