This regional hospital has 365 inpatient beds, 14 medical and surgical beds, 6 intensive care unit beds, and 12 operating theatres.

A growing Mental Health Program at this hospital includes acute inpatient care and community outreach services.

There is a postnatal care unit, 2 allocated child and youth beds, a unit for adults receiving intensive treatment, and an older adult unit with 10 acute assessment beds for a short stay and 10 nursing home beds for people with complex needs.

As Consultant Psychiatrist, you will provide comprehensive specialist services and deliver the highest quality, evidence-based care.

You will work on a highly varied clinical casemix, and have the opportunity to  contribute to the development and continued improvement of mental health services.

You will also have the opportunities for the supervision and education of junior doctors, as well as your own continued professional development. 

Where you’ll be living

Here you’ll find award-winning dining options, wineries, vibrant nightlife, major sporting and music events, and a thriving, friendly community.

You’ll also have forests, mountain-top views, lakes and beaches within arm’s reach.
