Consultant Anaesthetist

  • Permanent full-time or part-time flexibility in an accredited teaching department
  • Diverse theatre lists including trauma, obstetrics, paediatrics and acute pain
  • Strong on-call support with well-established trauma pathways
Where you’ll be working
You’ll be joining a large regional referral hospital within a well-established anaesthetic department providing services across general surgery, orthopaedics, trauma, obstetrics and gynaecology, paediatrics, ENT, endoscopy and mental health procedures.

The department delivers pre-assessment clinics, acute pain services and obstetric epidural cover, and plays a key role in trauma and cardiac arrest responses.

It is an accredited training site, offering opportunities to supervise registrars, fellows and junior medical staff, as well as contribute to teaching, audit and service improvement initiatives.

Clinicians work within a supportive multidisciplinary environment with strong links to tertiary centres for subspecialty support and referral pathways.

Where you’ll be living
This role is based in a sunny coastal regional centre in North Queensland, offering relaxed coastal living without the congestion or cost of capital cities.

The area is popular with families and professionals, with a strong sense of community, good access to childcare, primary and secondary schools, and a range of sporting and recreational facilities.

Housing is significantly more affordable than major metropolitan centres, allowing doctors to enjoy larger homes and shorter commutes.

With beaches, islands and national parks nearby, the region supports an active outdoor lifestyle, while regular flights provide easy access to major east-coast cities.
