Several vacancies are available on a full time and part time basis

Alice Springs Hospital is recruiting for Emergency Registrars for commencing ASAP for up to 24 months at Full time or Part time contracts.

We offer a unique experience in Aboriginal Health - practising high acuity medicine in a young population where 80% patients are Aboriginal.

We service an area of over 1 million km2 with around 50000 presentations a year with a 42% admission rate, median age of 34 years and 22% paediatric presentations. While that volume mirrors a busy metropolitan regional hospital, thepathology seen is unique:

The Clinical Spectrum:You are managing a profound volume of high-acuity, late-presentation pathology. You will routinely manage resuscitations for severe sepsis, advanced rheumatic heart disease, advanced renal failure with critical hyperkalaemia, severe outback trauma, and acute presentations of complex intergenerational trauma.

The Paediatric Volume:Roughly one-quarter of all ED presentations are paediatric. You will see acute paediatric illnesses—from PSGN, ARF to profound dehydration.

The Gateway to the Centre:As the only major acute medical facility for over a million square kilometres, you are the receiving end for the Central Australian Retrieval Service (CARS). You aren't just treating the town; you are treating the entire desert.

The ED has Tier 2 and Training stage 4 accreditation for non-major referral ACEM ED training, including your paediatric log book/ PER, and offers a supportive training environment. FACEMs are on the floor from 0730 till 2400 7 days a week.



Our ED registrars can also access accredited rotations to Paediatrics, Anaesthetics, ICU, Tennant Creek (Rural and Remote Medicine + Core ED with blended supervision), Retrieval Medicine, as well as a current position in Aboriginal Health looking after our Aboriginal Frequent Attender team.

We provide quality protected Registrar teaching for 4 hours a week and are highly are supportive of primary and fellowship exam candidates. We actively support your WBAs and roster supervised ‘in charge consultant’ shifts, as well as providing quality assurance shifts skills development. For your TS4 time we will facilitate your audit, guideline, M and M, and presentation requirements.

We are happy to accept applications for 3+ months, including rotations from your home hospital. You may be able to arrange this with your DEMT or Director. We are also happy to accept applications from ACCRM/RACGP registrars looking to undertake their AST or ACEM associateships.

The surrounding McDonnell Ranges are exquisitely beautiful, tall gum trees stand in the river beds, and we have blue cloudless skies almost every day. Camping, hiking, trail running, and mountain biking are very popular. It’s a vibrant bustling tourist town, with numerous social events to keep you busy.

This is a great place to come for your non-major referral placement, to gain experience if you are thinking of doing voluntary service overseas, or if you are interested in broadening your experience of Emergency Medicine or Aboriginal health.

Flexible working arrangements and leave arrangements are available. There are generous allowances and leave entitlements, see current NT Medical OfficersEnterprise Agreementhttps://ocpe.nt.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0003/1260075/medical-officers-ntps-2022-2025-enterprise-agreement.PDF
