Werribee Mercy Hospital is entering a landmark new phase, with the opening of a major Emergency Department expansion. This expansion will significantly increase our capacity and enable us to meet the rapidly growing healthcare needs of the Wyndham community, providing timely, high-quality emergency care to an additional 25,000 patients each year.

As Mercy Health prepares to launch this expanded service, we are looking for Registrars who are seeking more than a standard rotation. These roles will play a critical role in building and shaping the medical workforce that will support the expanded Emergency Department from day one.

This is a rare opportunity to join a service at a defining moment, contributing to the establishment of a modern, high-capability emergency department within one of Australia's fastest-growing corridors. You will play a key role in delivering high-quality emergency care within a growing and evolving service.

The new Emergency Department is ACEM accredited as a non-major referral centre for 2 years of training. It will offer you the opportunity to:

• Work within state-of-the-art facilities, including 4 new resuscitation bays, a 16-bed Short Stay Unit (SSU), and purpose-built fast track, paediatric and behavioural assessment zones.
• Rotate to other specialties in-house that satisfy non-ED training such as ICU, Anaesthetics and O&G.
• Satisfy Paediatric Log book (PBL) component of training.
• Benefit from weekly protected registrar education and direct FACEM mentorship as the service scales.
• Join as a foundational member of a major service expansion, offering long-term clinical growth in a high-acuity, high-support environment.
• Enjoy a reverse commute against CBD and inner-west traffic.

This is your opportunity to be part of a once-in-a-generation expansion of emergency care in Melbourne's west.

Don't just join an Emergency Department - help launch a legacy and take your place at the forefront of care.

About you

• Registration as a Medical Practitioner with the Australian Health Practitioners Regulation Agency (AHPRA).
• High standards of practice with a strong commitment to consumer and carer focused service.
• Ability to work flexibly within the Public Emergency Health Services system.
• Prior experience working in the Public Emergency Health Services system will be of benefit.

What you'll bring

You bring compassion, professionalism, flexibility and a strong commitment to delivering high-quality, patient-centred care and service. You value teamwork, collaboration and creating a positive experience for patients, families and colleagues, and thrive in a fast-paced, ever-changing Emergency Department environment.

You are motivated by the opportunity to contribute to a growing service and play a role in supporting the future of emergency care for the Wyndham community.
