Austin Health is the major provider of tertiary health services, health professional education and research across three campuses in the north-east of Melbourne and statewide. We have a highly engaged, diverse and collaborative workforce that is unified by our goal to help people live healthy and fulfilled lives.
About the Department of Anaesthesia
Anaesthesia services are provided by the Department of Anaesthesia at both the Austin and Repat sites, with the department based on Level 2 of the Austin Tower. The department includes a diverse team of medical, nursing, and administrative staff, and supports anaesthesia across 11 theatres, 2 endoscopy suites, and 2 procedure rooms in the Harold Stokes building, as well as in Radiology and the Cardiology Cath Lab. The Repatriation Campus houses the Surgery Centre, an elective surgery facility with 8 theatres and independent anaesthesia leadership, although administrative support comes from the Austin Campus.
It is recognised that an anaesthesia department at a teaching hospital needs a wider range of skills than any one anaesthetist could have. Therefore, each individual anaesthetist will need to bring their own set of skills which will complement those of others and enable the department to cover all contingencies and provide a comprehensive service. No individual anaesthetist can be expected to be proficient in every area of modern anaesthesia.
About the role
In this role you will provide anaesthesia services under appropriate supervision by Specialist Anaesthetists as arranged by the Director or delegated Anaesthetist responsible for rosters. This is a transitional year from trainee to consultant and will include more clinical responsibility and administrative duties.
The Department of Anaesthesia at Austin Health will employ Anaesthesia Provisional Fellows (PF) in two separate fellowship streams.
- General Provisional Fellowship
