Job description

Consultant Emergency Medicine | Regional Base Hospital | New South Wales

We are working closely with a regional base hospital in New South Wales to connect with a Consultant in Emergency Medicine seeking a full-time appointment within a busy Emergency Department.

This opportunity offers a broad regional ED scope, with around 26,000 annual presentations cited in a publicly available hospital profile, alongside a mixed adult and paediatric caseload and strong day-to-day involvement across acute assessment, resuscitation, supervision, and service delivery. It will suit a FACEM who values hands‑on emergency medicine, clinical ownership, and meaningful contribution within a hospital that remains central to care across its surrounding community.

The Hospital

This is a level 3/4 regional base hospital within Northern New South Wales, providing emergency, medical, surgical, orthopaedic, paediatric, anaesthetic, maternity, intensive and critical care, renal, oncology, palliative care, outpatient and day surgery services.

A current ACEM accredited site list shows the Emergency Department is accredited for 24 months core ED training, with PLB/PER and TS4 approval.

Hospital capability includes:

• Regional base hospital status within a broader Northern NSW network.
• Mixed Emergency Department workload with around 26,000 presentations annually in a publicly available hospital profile.
• Broad inpatient and peri-acute interface across medicine, surgery, paediatrics, maternity, renal, oncology and critical care.
• ACEM accredited for 24 months core ED training, with PLB/PER and TS4 approval listed on the current register dated 17 March 2026.
• Major redevelopment investment of $263.8 million planned to deliver an expanded Emergency Department, Emergency Short Stay, Medical Imaging, MRI, inpatient capacity, and an expanded day surgery and operating suite.

Why Consider This Role

• Regional ED practice with genuine consultant autonomy and breadth.
• Established training environment with current ACEM accreditation for 24 months core ED training.
• Broad clinical interface across medical, surgical, paediatric, maternity and critical care services.
• Significant redevelopment investment supporting future emergency and acute care capability.
• Substantially comparable pathway supported.

The Location

This setting offers the advantages of regional New South Wales living, including a manageable commute, strong community connection, and access to a well-established North Coast lifestyle. It will appeal to consultants seeking full-time emergency medicine practice with professional ownership and a sustainable lifestyle outside a metropolitan setting.

Requirements

• Specialist Registration with AHPRA (or eligibility)
• FACEM or eligible
• ACEM trainee approaching Fellowship
• International Medical Graduates assessed by ACEM as partially or substantially comparable
