Consultants contribute to multidisciplinary care and service development within a modern and expanding regional referral framework. This opportunity will appeal to Nephrologists seeking clinical breadth, stability and the ability to make meaningful impact within a growing regional community.

The Hospital & Renal Services

This is the primary regional referral health service for its district, supporting a catchment population of approximately 150,000 people. A recent major redevelopment has strengthened inpatient, ICU and emergency infrastructure, reinforcing the hospital’s role as a regional hub.

• In-centre haemodialysis services
• Integration with General Medicine and ICU
• Multidisciplinary collaboration with Endocrinology, Cardiology and Palliative Care
• Structured referral pathways to metropolitan transplant centres

• Strong MDT collaboration
• Substantially comparable pathway supported

For interstate or international applicants, the RACP specialist assessment and AHPRA registration pathway can be clearly structured and supported.

The Location

Based in a well-established regional city approximately two hours from Melbourne, the area offers strong schooling, short commute times and a welcoming community atmosphere, while remaining connected to metropolitan services.
