(AU, NZ, slang) The hospitality industry.
In reality there are only around 24 MWs in Australia, so the chances of me coming across someone who's just attained theirs, and is applying for a hospo job, is rather low.

Hossie is a casual, breezy slang shortening of 'hospital' used in everyday conversation, particularly in Australian, British, and South African English. It takes the sting out of a clinical setting by treating it like any other everyday destination — the same way 'footy' softens 'football'. You'd use hossie when casually telling someone you're heading in for a check-up, describing a long stint recovering, or sympathising with someone who landed themselves in A&E.

Australian slang for a resident of public housing, formed in the typical Australian manner by shortening and adding '-o'. The term can be used neutrally or with condescension depending on the speaker, and carries the social weight of class and housing inequality in Australia.
