Bayside Health Peninsula Care Group is seeking enthusiastic and passionate FACEMs and Paediatric Emergency Physicians to join our team as we embark on an exciting new chapter in emergency care.

In 2026, we will open the expanded Emergency Department, including a new purpose-built paediatric emergency department and mental health/AOD hub, and this is a unique opportunity to be part of something exceptional from the ground up. As a successful applicant, you won’t just be filling a position—you’ll be instrumental in designing workflows, establishing clinical standards, and shaping the culture of a department that will serve the Mornington Peninsula community for generations to come. We’re looking for someone who combines clinical excellence with collaborative leadership, someone who is energized by the prospect of building rather than simply maintaining, and who shares our commitment to delivering world-class emergency care, including for our youngest patients.

Bayside Health is a public health service delivering high-quality care across every stage of life for close to 1.2 million people living in metropolitan Melbourne, the Mornington Peninsula, Koo Wee Rup, Bass Coast and Southern Gippsland. We have more than 15 main sites, including hospitals, centres and clinics that provide comprehensive care from welcoming newborns to supporting older people and a full range of services in between. Peninsula Care Group Emergency services are provided at Peninsula University Hospital in Frankston and Rosebud Hospital. More than 22,000 dedicated staff are focused on providing exceptional, equitable, and locally connected care through shared expertise, compassion, and a commitment to continuous growth. Education and training are central to staff development as we encourage all employees to strive and thrive. Bayside Health was formed following the merger of Alfred Health, Bass Coast Health, Gippsland Southern Health Service, Kooweerup Regional Health Service and Peninsula Health on 1 January 2026.

The Team & Role

• Provide high-quality medical care to patients across all areas of the emergency department, in accordance with the roster developed by the Clinical Director.
• Supervise and teach registrars, hospital medical officers, and medical students in the assessment, treatment, and disposition of patients.
