Want to get closer to ‘the heart’ of Australia? Want to have a positive impact on health and wellbeing in regional and remote Central Australia?

Looking for somewhere challenging, rewarding...somewhere fundamentally different?

Alice Springs Hospital is a 183 bed teaching hospital with strong links to Tennant Creek Hospital, Royal Darwin Hospital, Royal Adelaide Hospital and Flinders Medical Centre with many visiting specialists from these hospitals.

Around 75% of patients are Indigenous - many from remote communities. The catchment area is over a million square kilometres with a strong focus on Indigenous and remote health.

We are a small obstetric unit (700+ deliveries per year) with some big challenges. Our patient population is culturally diverse and always engaging. The majority are indigenous Australian women, who experience a relatively high burden of health problems which can impact greatly upon pregnancy (e.g. diabetes, renal disease, infectious diseases and their sequelae such as rheumatic heart disease).

We aim to offer a high quality generalist gynaecology service,



and maintain an active outreach service to far flung communities which are usually accessed by small plane charter service, or by road for the closer communities.

We are looking for an enthusiastic specialist. You will have an interest in developing and improving services through education and a safety and quality approach. Many opportunities for research and expanding the relationship with Flinders University or the Baker Institute are available.

Applicants must have general and/or specialist registration with the Medical Board of Australia and appropriate specialist qualification, ie: Fellowship of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Australia and New Zealand

Alice Springs is the regional hub of Central Australia with an urban population of approximately 30,000 people.

Nestled within the MacDonnell Ranges, spectacular gorges and waterholes, accessible by road, walking trails and bicycle tracks, surround the town. It is multicultural with well-established schools and amenities. There are many galleries, al fresco cafes, restaurants and bars, and all manner of sport and fitness clubs. Out of town are places to camp under the stars, swim through gorges, explore rocky mountain ranges and hit world-class mountain bike trails.
