Permanent full-time or part-time opportunity Contribute to the welfare of rural communitiesLive the Australian dream in a picturesque region right on the famous Murray RiverWhere you’ll be working
You will be working at a 143-bed subregional Victorian health service committed to providing the highest quality, safe and effective healthcare to its rural population. This hospital is the main referral centre for the region’s population of 10,000 and has a broader catchment of around 35,000 people. The health service has recently received funding for hospital upgrades and is also in the process of developing a rural clinic school where there will be an opportunity to deliver undergraduate and postgraduate education. This fully integrated rural public health service offers a wide range of services including acute inpatient, medical, surgical, maternity services, emergency services, rehabilitation, aged residential, domiciliary, primary care, dental services and general practice, including outreach programs to several small outlying communities.

As the hospital’s surgical footprint expands, the health service is committing to building a team to train junior doctors in Anaesthetics through various graduate pathways. You will join a hybrid of consultants who support a busy Surgical Service delivering elective and emergency care as well as the rural generalist model of care. You will be supported by a multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals dedicated to improving the quality of life of the broader rural community.
