This is a chance to make a genuine impact within a collaborative, forward-thinking environment where your expertise and enthusiasm for patient care are truly valued.

About You

You’re a highly skilled and motivated Consultant Anaesthetist who is passionate about delivering exceptional patient care and contributing to a collaborative, learning-focused clinical environment. With strong professional integrity and a commitment to continuous improvement, you thrive in a team setting and bring both expertise and empathy to everything you do.

• Qualified and Accredited: You hold specialist qualifications in Anaesthesia, are a Fellow of the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists (or equivalent) and are eligible for registration as a Specialist with AHPRA.

• Clinically Excellent and Committed: You demonstrate advanced clinical skills in anaesthesia, uphold the highest professional standards, and are dedicated to providing high-quality care both during and outside regular hours.

• Collaborative and Communicative: You have highly developed interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to work effectively within a multidisciplinary team and engage respectfully with patients and colleagues from diverse backgrounds.
