Overview
With your skills and experience, you can contribute to the millions of ways we're enriching health, and develop your career as part of the largest health organisation in Australia.

In this role, you will provide expert clinical leadership aligned with the NSW Health CNC domains, supporting the ongoing development of safe, effective and contemporary clinical practice. You will offer specialist advice to patients, carers and health professionals, lead the development and evaluation of care plans for complex cases, and apply research to guide infection prevention strategies. The position also contributes to specialty education, service planning and the delivery of a high‐quality consultant service across the organisation.

You take responsibility for your practice, reflect on your performance and actively pursue ongoing development. You enjoy supporting others through teaching and coaching, and you consistently uphold professional standards while addressing unsafe or unprofessional behaviour when required. If you're looking for a role where your leadership, professionalism and clinical capability can make a meaningful impact, this opportunity aligns perfectly with your strengths.
