About Saige Ultrasound

Saige Ultrasound is a specialist women’s imaging practice and part of the Saige Health and Wellness family. We provide high-quality obstetric and gynaecological ultrasound in a calm, unhurried and personal setting. We believe how a patient feels during and after a scan matters as much as the images. Every patient should feel heard, informed and cared for, whether they’re coming in for an exciting milestone or facing difficult news.

We’re opening a satellite clinic in Port Macquarie and are looking for a skilled, compassionate sonographer to bring the Saige approach to the community.

The role

The position starts at one day per week, with real potential to grow as the clinic expands. You’ll often be the sole sonographer on site, with remote support from the broader Saige team and our reporting specialists. It’s ideal for an experienced sonographer looking for additional work, or anyone wanting a meaningful part-time role with room to develop.

Strong problem-solving skills for challenging scans, such as difficult body habitus, fetal position, limited access, equipment issues or unexpected presentations

Ability to tailor technique and protocol to the clinical question and recognise when a study needs extending

Managing unexpected findings and emotive situations:

Experience handling significant findings, such as pregnancy loss, ectopic pregnancy,



fetal anomalies or suspicious gynaecological findings, calmly and sensitively

A clear understanding of professional scope when responding to distressed patients while findings are communicated through the reporting doctor
