Job description

Supervise and report cardiac imaging across Melbourne, with a full reporting list, an experienced sonography team and administrative support already in place.

Heartscope, part of Scope Healthcare, provides specialist cardiology consultations and cardiac diagnostics across Greater Melbourne. We began as a mobile echocardiography service in 1995 and have since grown into an established network of cardiologists, sonographers and dedicated support teams with over 15 locations in Melbourne.

As our services and team continue to expand, we’re welcoming imaging cardiologists to join Heartscope. The work is supervising stress echocardiograms and reporting them, along with echocardiograms, Holter monitors, ambulatory blood pressure monitors, ECGs and other cardiac imaging tests. Cardiologists with CTCA accreditation can also report CT coronary angiograms and calcium scores.

We’re also welcoming our imaging cardiologists to consult as well. Consulting at Heartscope means undertaking adult outpatient work, with the ongoing care of your patients that follows from it. Your patients' investigations will be done in our own clinics, so they can get an appointment in the same week and the results come straight back to you. If you’re moving an established consulting practice to Heartscope, we can negotiate a transition package that includes compensation.
