Ask Shaye: Working for an agency after redundancy
If I take a redundancy package from NSW Health, can I work as an agency nurse in a public hospital during the exclusion period?
You may be able to work for a public hospital if you are employed and paid by the agency. If you are employed
by the agency but paid by the hospital directly, this could be considered a breach of your redundancy terms, meaning you would be required to pay back some or all of the redundancy. It would be best to check with both your agency and the hospital prior to signing any contract.
