About the Role
Rural Doctors Network invites Expressions of Interest from suitably qualified Clinical Psychiatrists to provide outreach mental health services across Aboriginal Medical Services (AMSs) in NSW. These opportunities support improved access to specialist psychiatric care for Aboriginal communities and are delivered through flexible outreach models, combining face‐to‐face visits and telehealth. Clinicians are supported with cultural orientation, practice management, and strong clinical governance frameworks.
