Description

Tamworth Rural Referral Hospital is seeking a suitably qualified Cardiologist to join a growing regional cardiology service.

Fellowship of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians (Cardiology), and/or eligibility through an overseas-trained specialist pathway, is an essential criterion for this position.

This role suits a clinician who can practise independently, contribute to a broad general cardiology workload, and help shape contemporary services across both inpatient and outpatient care.

Mentoring opportunities are available for early career consultants, and experienced consultants are also encouraged to apply.

Applicants may bring a wide range of interests and procedural skills. Experience in one or more of the following is advantageous, but not essential:

- Coronary angiography and catheterisation

The position can be tailored to the successful applicant’s scope of practice and development goals, with opportunities to consolidate existing skills and expand practice over time.

The successful applicant will participate in the cardiology and acute care roster, including on-call responsibilities and weekend ward rounds as required.

You'll provide comprehensive outpatient cardiology care for Tamworth and surrounding communities, with the option to deliver services through public outpatient clinics and/or private consulting rooms.

There are strong opportunities to develop a mixed public-private practice, supported by an established referral base.

You'll join a collegial team of four local cardiologists,



alongside a broad specialist workforce at Tamworth Rural Referral Hospital.

The service maintains close clinical links with tertiary Cardiology and Cardiothoracic Surgery services in Newcastle, enabling shared care, streamlined referral pathways, and regular specialist-to-specialist collaboration.
