We are a team of more than 3,500 dedicated staff providing support to the Mackay, Isaac and Whitsunday regions; stretching from Bowen and the Whitsundays in the north to St Lawrence in the south, and west to Clermont. Our region is about the size of Ireland, with a mix of regional and rural areas, covering an area of approximately 90,0002km.

Mackay HHS provides a working environment that embraces professional development, builds capabilities, provides roles with variety and flexibility, supports staff to maximise their health and wellbeing and encourages work life balance.

The MHHS respectfully acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the land and sea on which we serve our communities, and pay our respect to Elders past, present and emerging. We strongly encourage Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to apply for all advertised positions.

We are located in a vibrant regional area of tropical north Queensland which offers all the benefits of coast and country living, allowing you to pursue a wide range of interests and lifestyles in a secure, family-friendly and culturally diverse environment. Our climate is ideal for outdoor living with beautiful beaches, subtropical rainforest and vast open spaces. There is a good choice of quality schools, wide range of sporting clubs and excellent community facilities.

You can enjoy cafes, restaurants and bars, festivals, art galleries and interesting communities, making this a great place for those looking to escape busy metro cities and try life at a different pace. Our thriving economy is supported by a diverse range of tourism, agriculture, mining, education and health industries.
