Health Careers & Opportunities in the Northern Territory   If you want your career to go places then join Department of Health in the Northern Territory.

Continued investments in Aboriginal health, remote health, acute care and community services offer many opportunities for health professionals who want to be part of making a difference. TOP END HEALTH SERVICE   SPECIALIST - EMERGENCY MEDICINE   We’re seeking a unique doctor to provide senior support in our remote hospital ED. For the right person, we think we have a dream job. Our Emergency Department has 16,000 presentations per annum with a great mix of adult and paediatric patients. The average age of admitted adult patients is around 45 years, and best of all, there is no access block! An interest in Indigenous health is essential, as Aboriginal people from many different language groups comprise over half of our region’s population and add to the richness of our rural hospital experience. The medicine is amazing! The challenges of tropical medicine, trauma, remoteness, high acuity, complex comorbidities and the uniqueness of our hospital experience are what keep our staff so happy. An attractive remuneration, accommodation & relocation package is available with generous allowances. We offer a civilized, negotiable roster that would include some after-hours on-call responsibility, and we’re happy to work around other commitments. Our good working relationships with retrieval services and the Royal Darwin Hospital provides scope for maintaining professional networks and skills. Your Senior ED colleagues are a combination of FACEM and Senior Rural Generalists with anaesthetics and emergency medicine experience. Junior staff consist of FACRRM registrars and rotating interns & residents from Darwin Hospital. As a senior clinician with a collaborative style, you would join our stable and collegial senior inpatient clinical team consisting of General Physicians and an Obstetrician. As we are currently applying for accreditation for Emergency Medicine training, teaching and supervision are key requirements of the role, and we expect that you’ll be passionate about sharing your skills with doctors in training.
