Billboards encouraging Irish healthcare workers to move to Australia have been erected near a top Dublin hospital leading to fears it could spark a further exodus Down Under.
The aggressive marketing strategy deployed by The Department of Health in Victoria has been spotted minutes away from the Mater Hospital in Phibsborough and Dorset Street Lower. One of the signs, which was put up in recent days, shows two medical professionals chatting alongside the message “Victoria, Australia. Now recruiting healthcare workers … join the community.”
At the bottom of the billboard, it says: “Authorised by the Victorian Government, Melbourne Australia.” The Irish Mirror understands that each year there is a mass exodus of young doctors and nurses who emigrate to Australia in the early stages of their careers for better working conditions.
