An additional benefit of working for NQPHN is that we offer salary packaging solutions (also known as salary sacrifice).

You can contribute a sum of money from your pre-tax salary each Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) year, which is 1 April to 31 March. This can be used for everyday expenses such as mortgage, bills, loan, credit card repayments, shopping, groceries and even petrol.

NQPHN chooses to salary package through Eziway.
