Offer description

Is it time to move ‘downunder’ for a sea change and work/life balance? We are seeking a skilled, team-oriented, and enthusiastic Adult/Aged Persons Consultant Psychiatrist to provide high-quality clinical and non-clinical services at South West Healthcare in Victoria.

* Beautiful coastal location;
* Competitive remuneration package (up to AUD$490,000 depending on experience) plus shift penalty rates;
* Excellent salary packaging options including meals & entertainment, novated leasing, and additional superannuation contributions;
* 3-hour drive to Melbourne;

The Role

The Adult/Aged Persons Psychiatrist plays a key role in providing adult/aged persons mental health clinical services to consumers admitted to the Acute Inpatient Unit (AIU) at Warrnambool Hospital, as well as those receiving community-based mental health support and treatment. The role is predominantly clinical, with additional responsibilities including supervision of junior clinical staff, access to formal teaching through Deakin Medical School/RANZCP, and opportunistic teaching opportunities.


Requirements

Applicants should be registered (or eligible for registration) as a specialist with the Medical Board of Australia and be a Fellow of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists (FRANZCP) or an equivalent overseas-trained specialist who has completed training in the UK, Ireland, Canada, USA (ABPN certified), or New Zealand.

The Medical Board of Australia implemented a new expedited pathway to specialist registration in December 2024, eliminating the need for a specialist assessment with a medical college for accepted qualifications in Psychiatry. Accepted qualifications now include MRCPsych and a Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT) after 2007. This is an opportune time to apply for this role.


The Hospital

This growing healthcare facility features a new redevelopment providing the Warrnambool community access to world-class healthcare close to home. The new multi-level building will include a larger emergency department, more operating theatres, 22 additional inpatient beds, and upgraded dialysis services. A new paediatric unit will also offer specialized care for children and young people, reflecting the region's increasing population.

As the largest employer in the region with over 1350 employees, the hospital is the major specialist referral center for the Barwon South West sub-region, offering a comprehensive range of acute, sub-acute, specialist, community, mental health, and aged services.


The Location

Situated on the Great Ocean Road, Warrnambool is surrounded by lush rural landscapes and breathtaking ocean views. It boasts spectacular coastlines, beaches, parks, gardens, seaside walking and biking trails, whale watching, shipwreck history, excellent cuisine, sports, and a vibrant city center, offering something for everyone.
