Packages may consist of relocation benefits, a fortnightly Rural Retention Allowance, contributions to professional development and utility reimbursements, in addition to accommodation assistance.
To recognise ongoing service in this role, once the successful candidate has served a qualifying period, they will become entitled to a reoccurring Annual Retention Bonus valued at $5,000 (as taxable income).
As a Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist at the Bathurst Health Service, you will have a personal commitment to providing an effective and efficient inpatient and outpatient service and an unequivocal dedication to working as part of a multidisciplinary team.
This position offers a broad experience in all aspects of Obstetrics and Gynaecology. You will have a demonstrated commitment to continuing professional development and to providing supervision and training to learners at all levels.

What we can offer you

The service also has active hospital in the home and primary community health services to the surrounding townships.
Bathurst Health Service has a strong partnership with the University of Western Sydney and Charles Sturt University, conducting research and providing training opportunities for medical students.
Please consider practising where your services are truly needed, in Bathurst. In many cases, underserved patients in smaller communities must drive hundreds of kilometres for care.

Practising in rural locations amplifies the number of people you can impact and make a difference to their lives.
