Job description

Emergency Medicine Specialist – FACEM
Brand-New Hospital | Coastal Lifestyle | Help Shape a New Service
Located under four hours’ drive from Sydney and only two hours from Canberra.

Imagine joining a hospital before the doors open and having the opportunity to help shape its Emergency Department, clinical culture and models of care from the beginning. We are seeking an experienced Emergency Medicine Specialist to join a new, purpose-built Level 4 regional hospital, scheduled to open in 2027.

More than a career move

Enjoy an enviable coastal lifestyle surrounded by beaches, waterways, national parks and relaxed communities while remaining within convenient reach of major metropolitan centres and airports.

The region offers:

• Beautiful beaches and an abundance of outdoor activities
• Excellent boating, fishing, surfing, cycling and bushwalking
• More affordable housing than major capital cities
• Short commutes and less time spent in traffic
• Welcoming, family-friendly communities
• A relaxed lifestyle without sacrificing professional challenge
• Space to build a rewarding career and a better quality of life

Larger than the two existing hospitals it will replace, the facility will bring expanded specialist services together on one contemporary campus. It has also been designed with capacity for future growth as the surrounding community’s healthcare needs evolve.

A hospital designed for the future

The new hospital will offer:

• A larger, purpose-built Emergency Department
• The region’s first eight-bed Intensive Care Unit/Close Observation Unit
• Contemporary operating theatres and a day-stay surgical unit
• Expanded medical imaging, including MRI
• Increased renal dialysis and chemotherapy capacity
• Dedicated maternity, paediatric and special care nursery services
• Mental health beds for short-term care
• Modern teaching facilities, including a simulation laboratory
• Contemporary clinical spaces designed to support multidisciplinary care

This is an outstanding opportunity to join an evolving service where your experience, ideas and leadership will make a genuine and lasting contribution.

The opportunity

You will provide high-quality emergency care across a broad and varied case mix while contributing to the development of the new department.

• Providing senior clinical leadership across the Emergency Department
• Managing adult, paediatric, trauma, acute medical and surgical presentations
• Supporting safe patient flow and effective clinical decision-making
• Supervising and mentoring junior medical officers
• Contributing to undergraduate and postgraduate teaching
• Participating in clinical governance, quality improvement and patient-safety initiatives
• Developing collaborative relationships across medical, nursing and allied health teams
• Helping establish the systems, standards and culture of a new emergency service
• Participating in evening, weekend and on-call rosters

What’s on offer

• A senior role within a brand-new Level 4 hospital
• The opportunity to influence a new Emergency Department from its foundation
• A diverse and professionally rewarding clinical workload
• Leadership, teaching and service-development opportunities
• A collaborative multidisciplinary environment
• Salary-packaging and employee wellbeing benefits
• Relocation support for eligible applicants
• Potential employer-sponsored visa support
• An exceptional balance between career progression and coastal living

About you

Applicants should hold:

• Specialist registration in Emergency Medicine with AHPRA and Fellowship of the Australasian College for Emergency Medicine; or
• Specialist registration in General Practice with FRACGP or FACRRM, advanced qualifications in Emergency Medicine and appropriate recent senior experience.

You will bring strong clinical judgment, effective leadership and communication skills, a commitment to patient safety and clinical governance, and a genuine interest in teaching and supporting the next generation of doctors.

Build something that lasts

Joining a new hospital gives you the chance to help shape its Emergency Department from the beginning. Bring your expertise to regional emergency care while enjoying an outstanding coastal lifestyle.
