Job description

Looking for greater flexibility in your specialist O&G practice? Add a rewarding regional opportunity with a close community connection to your existing commitments.

Orchard Talent Group is seeking expressions of interest from experienced Obstetricians and Gynaecologists for a VMO opportunity at Grafton Base Hospital in Northern NSW.

This is an opportunity for an established specialist to extend their clinical practice, supplement existing private or public hospital commitments, or explore a regular regional engagement without necessarily changing their primary place of work.

Flexible sessional arrangements will be considered, subject to service requirements and individual availability.

The Opportunity – a key service for the Clarence Valley community

Grafton Base Hospital provides an important maternity and women's health service to communities across the Clarence Valley and surrounding region.

We are interested in speaking with experienced specialists who may be available for a regular or occasional regional commitment.

The opportunity may particularly appeal to specialists based in Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Tweed Heads, Byron Bay and Northern NSW who are interested in extending their practice into a regional hospital environment.

Potential engagement arrangements include:

• Flexible sessional commitments.
• Regular scheduled clinical sessions.
• Supplementary work alongside existing private or public practice.
• Opportunities to contribute to regional obstetric and gynaecological services.
• Arrangements tailored to individual availability and departmental requirements.

Clinical Responsibilities

Depending on the agreed scope of engagement, responsibilities may include:

• Specialist obstetric assessment and management.
• Antenatal, intrapartum and postnatal care.
• General gynaecological consultations and management.
• Operative gynaecology within credentialed scope of practice.
• Close collaboration with the maternity, midwifery teams.
• Contributing to clinical quality and continuity of care.

About you - an experienced Obstetrician and Gynaecologist with:

• FRANZCOG or equivalent specialist qualifications.
• Current specialist registration with AHPRA.
• Recent experience across obstetrics and general gynaecology.
• Appropriate procedural and clinical competencies for the agreed scope of practice.
• A collaborative approach and commitment to high‑quality patient care.
• A valid NSW Working With Children Check.

About Grafton - a regional opportunity without having to relocate.

Grafton offers an attractive location for specialists seeking to combine existing professional commitments with regional clinical work.

• Approximately 45 minutes from the beautiful Northern NSW coastline.
• Accessible from the broader Clarence Valley and Northern Rivers.
• A relaxed regional environment with a strong community connection.
• More affordable accommodation and living options than metropolitan centres.
• An opportunity to contribute to specialist women's healthcare in a regional community.

For specialists based further afield, the possibility of structured sessional commitments may provide an appealing way to combine regional practice with existing metropolitan work.
