  • Build a meaningful career and enjoy a healthy work-life balance 
  • Make the move to a city that is consistently ranked as one of the most liveable locations in Australia
  • Enjoy  spectacular beaches, a vibrant arts and event scene, and a plethora of outdoor activities on your doorstep
Where you’ll be working
You will be working at Victoria’s largest sub-regional health service and the sub-region’s major specialist referral centre.

This is a 282-bed facility providing the highest standard of clinical and patient care to the diverse communities of the region.

The hospital is currently undergoing a $384.2 million redevelopment that will deliver a bigger emergency department, more operating theatres, a new paediatric unit, an extra 22 inpatient beds, and dedicated areas for pathology services and dialysis. 

As Consultant Psychiatrist, you will be responsible for providing medical and psychiatric assessment and care to adults and aged persons.

You will join a collegial, multidisciplinary team, offering primary clinical assessment and treatment, as well as secondary consultation, guidance and advice to a range of other healthcare professionals and settings.

You will have the opportunity to contribute to the development and promotion of divisional quality improvement activities, including the supervision, training and education of junior doctors, medical students, and registrars.

You will also have the opportunities to participate in continued professional development activities. 

Where you’ll be living
You will be living in a coastal city between the idyllic Merri and Hopkins Rivers of Victoria.

This is one of the fastest growing regional cities in the state, and a popular tourist destination year-round.

Here, you’ll find a catalogue of white-sand beaches, reserves and rivers to explore.

You’ll have easy access to stunning landmarks like Logans Beach, Middle Island and Griffiths Island, while also taking advantage of the big city amenities and vibrant arts and dining scenes this seaside region has to offer.

Residents here enjoy low traffic, excellent schooling options, and a thriving community embracing a more balanced, laid-back way of life.

The city has its own airport, with Melbourne just a 1-hour flight or 3-hour drive away.
