The Team:
At BreastScreen Tasmania, we’re a passionate, statewide team committed to improving the health and wellbeing of Tasmanian women through early detection and diagnosis of breast cancer. Our multidisciplinary service operates across the South, North, and North-West of the state, delivering high-quality, trauma-informed care in both screening and assessment settings.
We currently have exciting opportunities available in Hobart, where you’ll join a collaborative and supportive team that values professional growth and innovation.

In 2026, we’ll move into a new, purpose-built Tasmanian centre for breast imaging, designed to enhance service delivery and provide a modern, supportive work environment.
This role offers family-friendly hours, no on-call requirements, and flexible work arrangements to suit your lifestyle.
The Ideal Candidate will bring:
