Saige Health and Wellness – Port Macquarie NSW

Saige Ultrasound is a specialist women’s imaging practice and part of the Saige Health & 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.
