  • Leadership, teaching and service development opportunities
  • Coastal regional lifestyle with excellent work–life balance

Where you’ll be working
You’ll be joining a well-established regional public health service providing acute and sub-acute care to a large rural and cross-border catchment.

The General Medicine unit delivers comprehensive inpatient and outpatient services and works closely with emergency, allied health and specialty teams to provide coordinated, patient-centred care.

This is a senior General Physician role with responsibility for leading multidisciplinary care, supervising junior doctors, and contributing to clinical governance, quality improvement and service planning.

Experience or a strong interest in geriatrics is highly valued, given the breadth and complexity of the patient population.

The service has a strong teaching culture and supports involvement in education, audit and research activities.

Where you’ll be living
This role is based in a vibrant regional coastal centre offering an enviable lifestyle without the congestion or cost of metropolitan living.

The area is known for its stunning coastline, national parks and outdoor recreation, alongside a welcoming community, quality schools and modern amenities.

Housing is affordable, commute times are short, and the pace of life allows genuine balance while still offering professional challenge and growth.

With easy access to both Adelaide and Melbourne, it’s an ideal base for doctors seeking space, nature and connection.
