• Plena are the only corporate membership partner of the APodA. Every podiatrist at Plena is provided a full, unrestricted membership in the APodA – the only organisation in Australia with that benefit, including the Podiatry Aged Care Special Interest Group. This means dozens of free CPD webinars every year along with all of the other benefits of membership.
• Work-Life balance is key to enjoying any job.  We believe all podiatrists are professionals able to arrange their own schedule the way it works best for them. Start when it suits you! Have a doctor’s appointment at 1pm and need to duck out for an hour? Go for it! As long as the day’s work gets done with high quality, you can be as flexible as you need.
• Occasional or frequent travel is available as we work to cover our team who take leave. Never been to Perth? Put your hand up for a week in WA to help us out when we need – everything is covered, along with some extra $$ to grab some of that famous Margaret River chocolate or wine.
• Travel opportunities come up monthly and if you’re a keen explorer you can really see the country as part of your role, think of it as a locum lifestyle with the security of permanency!

Then there’s always the routine perks as well.    

• CPD allowance ($500 on top of the APodA membership),
• Health Kick ($150 for you to spend on your own wellness every year)
• Treasure Chest Fund - One of your patients need a pick-me-up? Get them a gift, we’ll pay you back, no questions asked.
• And the cherry on top –we are offering a sign on bonus to sweeten the deal

• Novated car leasing options
