  • Permanent, full-time opportunity 
  • Challenging casemix and truly rewarding work 
  • Year-round sunny climate in outback Australia 
Where you’ll be working
You will be working within a Health Service with a strong network of public hospitals, health services and nursing posts located across rural and remote Western Australia.

You will be working at a 106-bed inpatient facility serving as one of the largest regional hospitals in WA.

This hospital offers a broad range of services, including 24hr emergency care, surgery, paediatrics, oncology, neurology and general medicine.

The hospital also offers acute psychiatric services, with a 6-bed authorised mental health inpatient unit.

As Consultant Psychiatrist, you will provide comprehensive specialist services to children and adolescents admitted for mental health care.

You will contribute to the hospital’s consistent striving for clinical excellence and collaborative delivery of patient-focussed care.

You will practice with cultural sensitivity and a family-oriented approach on a varied and often-challenging casemix.

You will be supported by a well-established and compassionate team of doctors, nurses and allied health professionals, including GPs and social workers.

You will have the opportunity to also contribute to the supervision, training and education of junior doctors and specialised mental health staff. 

Where you’ll be living

The region has a rich, gold-mining heritage, with plenty to see and do.

The welcoming communities here enjoy a vast collection of hiking trails, nature reserves, open spaces and big city amenities.

You’ll benefit from a lower cost of living, a more affordable housing market, enviably short commute times and a relaxed way of life.
