Where you will be working:

Orthopaedics is a growing specialty based on the migration from COVID to the Central Coast as well as our aging population. Challenges arise with trauma, arthroplasty and revision arthroplasty. CCLHD is known as a stable environment well supported by the senior medical staff for a trainee to develop their skills clinically and professionally. Being a busy Regional Centre, the focus is on quality care for our patients in a multidisciplinary team. It is a research hub of the central coast with multiple opportunities to undertake research.

Gosford Hospital is the principal referral hospital and trauma centre for the Central Coast, with over 500 inpatient beds and 24/7 access to the emergency department and operating theatres. A recent $368 million dollar redevelopment delivered a new emergency department, ICU, nuclear medicine facility, special care nursery and expanded medical imaging services.

Wyong Hospital is an acute major metropolitan hospital with over 300 beds providing inpatient, outpatient and emergency services to residents in the northern region of the Central Coast. A recent $200 million expansion delivered a new emergency department, ICU, paediatric unit, inpatient wards, theatres and expanded medical imaging services.

In conjunction with the University of Newcastle, CCLHD has recently opened the Central Coast Clinical School and Research Institute on the Gosford Hospital campus, providing additional opportunities in training and research.
