At Monash Health, we’re committed to our employees, just as they’re committed to our patients, their families and the community we serve. As part of this commitment, we offer a highly competitive employee benefits program. Read on to find out more.
Salary packaging
Monash Health employees are eligible for salary packaging. Salary packaging is an Australian Taxation Office approved means of restructuring your salary to reduce your taxation. This is provided through our partnership with MAXXIA. Salary packaging enables you to pay for certain items out of your pre-tax salary, including:
- everyday living expenses including mortgage, rent or credit card payments
- meal entertainment expenses
- holiday accommodation and venue hire
- the finance and running costs of your car through Novated Leasing
- and other work related expenses.
