ARE you finishing school and considering a future in healthcare, but not quite sure where to start?
Applications for GV Health’s 2027 Gap Year Program will open soon, offering local young people the opportunity to gain hands-on experience, develop practical skills and explore the many career pathways available in healthcare.
The program gives participants the chance to work within a major regional health service while learning alongside experienced clinicians and staff. Gap Year Trainees gain exposure to different areas of healthcare, build confidence in a professional environment and develop skills that can support future study and employment.
For the 2026 cohort, the program has provided valuable insight into the range of roles involved in delivering healthcare. Participants have gained experience across areas including allied health and administration, while seeing firsthand how different teams work together to provide high-quality patient care.
The program can also help young people discover where their interests lie before committing to further study or choosing a career pathway.
Current Gap Year Trainee Miette Longo said the experience had helped her grow both personally and professionally.
“Working as an Allied Health Assistant has given me valuable hands-on experience and a greater understanding of the different fields within healthcare,” Miette said.
Fellow trainee Tully Jones encouraged young people considering the 2027 program to apply.
“You can build your confidence, develop practical skills and gain a much better understanding of the healthcare industry,” Tully said.
Whether you already have a healthcare career in mind or want to explore the opportunities available, GV Health’s Gap Year Program is a chance to learn, grow and make a difference in your local community.
Applications for the 2027 GV Health Gap Year Program will open soon. Stay tuned to the GV Health Facebook page and website for application details.
