Position

An exceptional opportunity is available for a Staff Specialist Anaesthetist to join the team on a permanent full time or part-time basis.

The Department of Anaesthesia is integral to the delivery of high-quality surgical and procedural services, supporting a broad range of specialties and ensuring excellence in patient care throughout the entire perioperative journey.

Hospital

The department is based in a modern, purpose-built facility featuring advanced operating theatres, state-of-the-art monitoring technology, and contemporary recovery and day-stay units.

An exciting expansion is currently underway, increasing capacity to eight operating theatres and two additional procedural rooms, alongside enhanced interventional radiology and cardiology services. A well-equipped Level 5 Intensive Care Unit provides comprehensive critical care and post-operative support for complex and high-acuity patients.

Anaesthetic services are delivered across a wide spectrum of specialties, including general surgery, orthopaedics, obstetrics and gynaecology, urology, ENT, paediatrics, and ophthalmology. The team also provides anaesthetic support for endoscopy, diagnostic imaging, and a range of interventional procedures.

Collaboration is central to the department’s approach, with anaesthetists working closely alongside surgeons, nursing teams, and allied health professionals to ensure safe, coordinated, and patient-centred care. Dedicated pre-admission clinics, as well as acute and chronic pain services, further enhance perioperative support.

The service plays a pivotal role in regional obstetric care, delivering anaesthetic support for labour and delivery, including epidural services and emergency caesarean sections.

Education and training are key priorities. The department actively supports medical students, junior doctors, and anaesthetic trainees,



offering accredited pathways for ANZCA trainees, GP anaesthetic training, and extended skills development in emergency and intensive care medicine. A strong culture of teaching, simulation, and ongoing professional development is embedded within the team.

This position also offers opportunities to contribute to clinical leadership, service planning, and quality improvement initiatives, aligning with broader teaching, research, and service development objectives. It presents a chance to shape the future direction of anaesthetic services within a rapidly growing healthcare environment, delivering outstanding care to a diverse and expanding community.
