This service is an award winning public health service in regional Australia. It comprises 2 hospitals, a mental health service and community health hubs.

It is a supportive group, who enjoy a manageable workload and an enviable work-life balance.
The job will be a mixture of inpatient and community work, and the service can build the job around your preferences. Rarely will you be expected to work over your contracted 38hrs per week and you will be ably supported by a great group of registrars and nursing staff.

There is a rich choice of first rate private schools and the area provides premium lifestyle opportunities for families, singles or couples. Whether it be beaches or mountains, the scenery is incredible and the choice of evening or weekend activities is limitless: surfing, whale watching, trekking, team sports (the cricket infrastructure for kids or adult amateur level is incredible) or cultural interests. A major metropolitan city is within driving range and the climate is extremely liveable.
The job and location presents an excellent opportunity for a consultant psychiatrist trained outside of Australia to integrate into the Australian system whilst enjoying a collegiate group of colleagues and a supportive executive team.
