We invite you to be part of this special place, to quietly pursue the extraordinary in our climate refuge, whether it be world-class bushwalking, mountain biking, or paddock-to-plate dining. At work, every team member matters and makes a difference.

Who Are We Looking For?
We are seeking a motivated and experienced Co-Clinical Director – Emergency Medicine for the Tasmanian Health Service (THS) across the North West region.

The successful applicant will provide strategic leadership and direction, compassionate and mature leadership of multidisciplinary frontline staff, ensuring strong relationships are built and maintained, and that emergency medicine services are effectively integrated within the hospital/service. The post requires leading a team towards delivering a high-quality service with efficient resource utilization and cost-effective policies, in addition to providing direct clinical care.
Ideally, we are seeking a FACEM with more than 3 years post-fellowship or FACRRM/FRACGP with more than 3 years post-fellowship, with extensive experience as an emergency medicine consultant in Australasia, including rural or regional contexts. Demonstrated leadership in emergency medicine and success managing large and complex teams are essential. Willingness to work at least 0.75 FTE (0.5 clinical director, 0.25-0.5 staff specialist) is required.

We are also a hub for the ACEM EMET program, with opportunities to be involved in outreach educational programs to remote areas like King Island and Queenstown.
Servicing a population of approximately 116,000, the THS North West has major sites, North West Regional Hospital (NWRH) and Mersey Community Hospital (MCH), located about 50 km apart, each managing around 30,000 presentations per year.
