Consultant Psychiatrist - General Adult

  • General adult inpatient and community psychiatry
  • Multidisciplinary, recovery-oriented model of care
  • Permanent full-time with flexible work options and strong relocation support

Where you’ll be working
You’ll be part of Tasmania’s statewide public mental health service, delivering contemporary, recovery-focused care within a genuinely collaborative multidisciplinary environment.

Based primarily in North-West Tasmania, you’ll work across inpatient and community settings with the benefit of strong peer support, established clinical governance structures and a service committed to innovation and continuous improvement.

As a senior psychiatrist, you will have the professional autonomy to shape care pathways, influence service development and contribute to best-practice models of adult mental health care.

The service values supervision, teaching and mentorship, providing opportunities to support registrars and junior doctors while strengthening your own leadership profile.

With manageable service demand compared to major metropolitan centres, you can focus on high-quality, patient-centred care while maintaining balance and sustainability in your clinical workload.

Where you’ll be living
Based in the stunning region of North-West Tasmania, this role offers access to spectacular coastlines, wilderness areas and a relaxed regional lifestyle without sacrificing professional challenge.

You’ll enjoy short commutes, affordable housing and a strong sense of community, while remaining connected to the broader statewide mental health network.

Tasmania offers an enviable blend of natural beauty, thriving food and arts culture, excellent schools and proximity to the University of Tasmania.

Whether your interests include hiking, mountain biking, sailing or simply enjoying award-winning local produce, the lifestyle supports both families and individuals seeking balance and space.
