Description

Are you tired of being just another roster number?
Want actual hands-on medicine instead of watching from the corner of a tertiary ward round?

Innisfail Hospital is looking for a registrar/PHO who wants to learn fast, do real medicine, and actually enjoy coming to work.

👩‍⚕️ What makes this job different?
Here, juniors aren’t observers — you’re part of the team.

You’ll rotate through:
🚑 Emergency Department
🤰 Obstetrics
💉 Anaesthetics (yes, real airways — not just cannulas)
🏥 HDU care
🛏 Ward medicine
🩺 Outpatient clinics

You will finish this job more confident than when you started.

👨‍🏫 Serious Teaching Firepower
We’re not just a rural site — we’re a training powerhouse.

Onsite you’ll find:
Multiple ACRRM examiners
Case writers
Accredited supervisors
Daily informal teaching
SIM training
Exam prep that actually prepares you

We are accredited for:
✅ ED AST
✅ Core Generalist Training (CGT)

Translation:
You won’t need to leave to get your training done.

🧠 The SMO Team
You’ll work with a genuinely supportive Rural Generalist group who:
Like teaching
Let you do procedures
Back you clinically
Answer the phone at 3am without sighing
We train doctors — not just employ them.

🌊 The Lifestyle (Yes it matters)
Finish work and you’re minutes from:
Rainforest walks
Islands and reefs
Waterfalls
Fishing spots
Coffee without city queues
A house you can actually afford
No commute. No parking battles. No 45-minute ward round corridors.

👀 Who Should Apply?
Perfect for:
RG pathway doctors
Future ED/Obs/Anaes RGs
Anyone wanting procedural confidence
Anyone burnt out from metropolitan service jobs
Someone who wants to become a good doctor, not just survive training

Flexible in terms of FTE - 0.5 available now, and 1.0 available mid year

If you want:
more skills
more teaching
more autonomy
less nonsense
This is the job.
