Efforts continue to attract Healthcare workers through expansion of Come Home Incentive.
The provincial Government has expanded the criteria for the healthcare professionals eligible to receive the Come Home Incentive, first announced in October 2022. With this change, the incentive is now available for eligible Clinical Psychologists, Respiratory Therapists, Radiation Therapists, Cardiology Therapists and Medical Physicists.
The incentive aimed at encouraging former residents of Newfoundland and Labrador who are now living away to come home and work. As the original incentive is available to eligible individuals who have been living outside the province for at least 6 months.
The Honorable Tom Osbourne, Minister of Health and Community Services will be available today, Thursday, January 26 at 11:15 am to discuss the initiative. The availability will take place at the main lobby of East Bloc, Confirmation Building and will be livestreamed on Facebook.
The province says they are confident that the expanded Come Home program will continue to help boost the attractiveness of our health community and the ultimate goal of improving access to care in Newfoundland and Labrador.
