The investment has also allowed for an upgrade to the existing facilities as well as new, state-of-the-art medical equipment to support the expansion of health service delivery to the region. This 160-bed facility is a teaching hospital, affiliated with the University of Sydney.
You will be an integral part of a cohesive and dynamic multidisciplinary team who strive for the consistent provision of clinical excellence for the community they serve.
