Position Overview

The CHS Maternal Fetal Medicine Department is seeking a Certification in Maternal Fetal Medicine (CMFM) Subspecialist or a Certification in Obstetrical and Gynaecological Ultrasound (COGU) Subspecialist.

The Maternal Fetal Medicine Department comprises a multidisciplinary team who work closely to provide high quality care for high risk pregnancies, fetal surveillance and diagnostics. This team includes MFM consultants, trainees, sonographers, midwives, genetic counsellors and administrative team members and works closely with specialists in Obstetrics, Neonatology, Clinical Genetics, Anaesthetics, Medicine and Paediatric Surgery. This is an opportunity to provide both complex maternal medical care and fetal medicine services including diagnostic ultrasound, invasive procedures, complex fetal counselling and management as well as a component of ultrasound reporting for normal obstetrics ultrasounds. The MFM Department at CHS has a large catchment with a large volume of pathology.

The Centenary Hospital for Women and Children provides tertiary level MFM and Obstetrics and Gynaecological services to the ACT and surrounding regions. The Centenary Hospital for Women and Children has more than 3700 births per year and is a level 6 referral centre for high risk pregnancies for the region. It is the only tertiary care perinatal unit between Sydney and Melbourne and thus has a busy Maternal Fetal Medicine Department.

The hospital is accredited by RANZCOG for the FRANZCOG Training Program. The MFM Department currently holds one accredited CMFM training position and employs an accredited MFM Fellow and an MFM Senior Registrar. The Centenary Hospital’s Centre for Newborn Care has over 650 admissions per year.

All specialties are represented with the exception of organ transplantation. The hospital has well developed post graduate teaching programs. A fully equipped medical library is available on site with a large collection of hard copy and online journals and textbooks.

The position holder is expected to operate within the Public Sector Management Act (1994), the ACT Public Service Code of Conduct and the professional requirements specified by the appointee’s Specialist College.
