Attractive salary with packaging options, relative to appointment level + access tosalary packaging via Maxxiato maximise your take home pay (including venue hire, meals, entertainment and novated leasing).
Macquarie University Health brings healthcare, education and research together in one integrated precinct
Location: Macquarie University Hospital, Wallumattagal Campus, Macquarie University, North Ryde
Macquarie University Hospital is a high-volume centre in structural heart disease, with a clinical program that is deliberately built alongside a translational research and innovation program. That program spans advanced imaging, artificial intelligence, device bioengineering and clinical trials of novel structural heart interventions, including new transcatheter mitral and tricuspid technologies.
We are seeking a cardiology trainee or early-career cardiovascular clinician to join this program in a 12-month advanced fellowship. The role combines multidisciplinary clinical training in advanced structural heart disease with dedicated time for research, biomedical innovation and academic development. Clinical training will be shaped around your sub-specialty interest, whether that is advanced imaging, heart failure management or structural heart interventions.
You will work closely with a multidisciplinary Heart Team across the diagnosis, planning and management of patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and other structural heart interventions. It is a genuine opportunity to develop specialist expertise in a setting where clinical practice, research and education operate together rather than in parallel.
As the Structural Heart Fellow, you will contribute to the care of patients with complex valvular and structural heart disease while building the imaging, procedural and research skills that underpin a career in this sub-specialty. You will be supervised by experienced clinicians and supported to take an active part in identifying unmet clinical needs and translating them into research and innovation projects.
- Participate in the inpatient and outpatient clinical care of patients with structural heart disease
- Perform and interpret structural heart disease transthoracic and transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE), including interventional TOE for procedural guidance
- Assist with case planning and provide intra-procedural support for TAVI and related interventions
- Present at multidisciplinary team meetings and educational forums
- Liaise with patients, families and general practitioners to support integrated, coordinated care
- Contribute to the innovation program, clinical research, audits and academic publications

- FRACP (or equivalent) in Cardiology, or close to completion
