Job description

Consultant Geriatrician

Join a progressive service delivering high-impact care to an ageing population, with flexibility, clinical variety, and genuine lifestyle balance.

The Opportunity

An excellent opportunity exists for a Consultant Geriatrician to join a well-established and expanding service focused on delivering comprehensive, patient-centred care to older adults. This role offers a diverse and rewarding scope of practice across acute geriatrics, subacute care, rehabilitation, and community-based services.

You will be involved in the assessment and management of complex, multi-morbid patients, with a strong emphasis on multidisciplinary care, discharge planning, and functional outcomes. There are opportunities to contribute to specialised services such as memory clinics, falls prevention, orthogeriatrics, perioperative medicine, and outreach programs. The role provides a balance of inpatient and ambulatory care, with flexibility to shape your clinical interests and contribute to service development, education, and quality improvement initiatives. This is an ideal position for a consultant seeking both clinical depth and the ability to influence evolving models of geriatric care.

The Hospital

The service operates within a modern, well-resourced public hospital network, supported by strong multidisciplinary teams including allied health, nursing, and junior medical staff. Facilities include dedicated geriatric and rehabilitation wards, outpatient clinics, and close integration with community and aged care services. You will join a collaborative and forward-thinking department with a strong focus on clinical excellence, innovation in aged care delivery, and ongoing service expansion. Teaching and supervision of junior doctors and medical students is a key component, supported by links to academic institutions. The health service continues to invest in infrastructure and models of care to meet the growing demand of an ageing population, providing a stable and future-focused working environment.

Benefits & Support

• Competitive salary package with access to salary packaging benefits
• Relocation assistance and support for interstate or international candidates
• Flexible working arrangements to support work-life balance
• Generous professional development allowance and study leave
• Opportunities for involvement in teaching, research, and service leadership
• Supportive multidisciplinary environment with strong clinical governance
• Clear pathways for career progression and subspecialty development

The Location

This role offers the opportunity to enjoy a highly liveable and accessible lifestyle, combining urban convenience with proximity to nature and open space. Daily life is efficient and manageable — short commutes, well-regarded schooling options, and a strong sense of community make it an attractive option for individuals and families alike. Outside of work, there is easy access to coastline, wineries, and outdoor recreation, supporting an active and balanced lifestyle. Whether it's time with family, fitness, or simply stepping away from the pressures of larger metropolitan centres, this setting enables a more sustainable pace without compromising on career opportunity.
