The Opportunity

We are working closely with a major regional referral hospital in Queensland to connect with a Consultant in Emergency Medicine seeking a full-time appointment within a high-demand Emergency Department. This opportunity offers broad emergency medicine practice across a busy regional service, with exposure to a diverse adult and paediatric case mix, strong inpatient specialty support, and scope to contribute across clinical care, supervision, service development, and departmental leadership. The health service delivers public hospital and health services across the Mackay, Isaac and Whitsunday regions and serves a population of approximately 186,215, supporting the scale expected of a substantial regional emergency department. The role will suit a FACEM seeking regional scale, meaningful clinical volume, and the opportunity to work within a service that combines emergency demand, broad referral responsibility, and a well-established acute care footprint.

The Hospital

This is a major regional referral hospital and the principal acute facility within a large Queensland health service. Public hospital information confirms a broad service profile including emergency, maternity, paediatrics, mental health and a wide range of specialist services, while Queensland Health performance reporting identifies the site as a substantial hospital resource and capacity centre. Hospital capability includes:

• Major regional referral function within a large multi-site health service
• Broad emergency, medical, surgical, paediatric, maternity, mental health and critical care interface
• Large regional catchment across the Mackay, Isaac and Whitsunday regions
• Ongoing infrastructure expansion supporting future inpatient and acute service growth
• ACEM-accredited Emergency Department for 12 months core ED training, approved for PLB/PER

Why Consider This Role

• Large catchment and referral responsibility within an established acute network
• Training environment with ACEM accreditation already in place
• Ongoing infrastructure investment supporting long-term service capability
• Substantially comparable pathway supported

The Location

This setting offers the advantages of northern coastal Queensland living, with strong community infrastructure, practical commuting, and access to beaches, waterways, and a more sustainable full-time lifestyle. It will suit consultants seeking meaningful emergency medicine practice within a large regional centre that still offers balance outside work.
