Job description

Consultant General Physician | Regional Health Service (VIC, NSW & SA)

Three States. One Health Service. A Broad Scope of Practice.

Santé Recruitment is currently connecting with Consultant General Physicians who are seeking full-time opportunities within a major regional hospital network. This unique health service operates across a significant cross-border catchment, supporting diverse communities in Victoria, New South Wales, and South Australia.

If you are looking to advance your career in a setting that values broad clinical expertise, this role offers the perfect balance of professional autonomy and clinical complexity. You will manage a diverse patient load—from acute presentations and high-acuity medical conditions to the long-term management of chronic disease—within a service that prioritizes collaborative, multidisciplinary care.

Why this role offers a superior career experience:

• Clinical Breadth: Move beyond the silos of sub-specialty medicine. You will encounter the full spectrum of acute and chronic internal medicine, ensuring your skills remain sharp and versatile.
• Senior Autonomy: This is a position for the decision-maker. You will be empowered to lead clinical management plans independently while shaping the future of care in your department.
• Regional Reach: Serve a substantial cross-border population. Your work will have a tangible impact on the health outcomes of communities that rely heavily on your specialist input.
• Connected Multidisciplinary Care: Work in an environment where you are fully integrated with Emergency, Critical Care, and other specialist teams to ensure seamless patient pathways.
• The Murray River Lifestyle: Enjoy a rewarding career in an established regional hub. Benefit from strong community amenities, a balanced lifestyle, and the convenience of regular flight connections back to Melbourne.

Requirements for the Position:

• Fellowship of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians (FRACP), specifically in General and Acute Care Medicine (or recognized equivalent).
• Current Specialist registration with AHPRA, or full eligibility to obtain specialist registration.
• Proven capacity to manage a diverse range of acute medical and surgical presentations.
