Your opportunity

We are looking for someone who is interested in practicing in a rural/remote setting and in closing the gap in health outcomes for First Nations peoples. In the South West, Adult Mental Health clinicians provide community-based consultation, assessment and treatment to people experiencing serious mental health disorders and problems.

The very nature of what we do and who we are is the real opportunity. Providing health care in the bush is full of challenges, however, it remains the most rewarding of human experiences.

Escape the city crowds and discover a region rich in community spirit, diverse industry, wide open spaces and beautiful waterways. St George Hospital is a 31 bed facility located 513kms west of Brisbane, servicing a population of approximately 2,400. Whether you are after a tree change, or a pace change, you will quickly become part of the community you care for in St George.

What we can do for you

Ultimately, we provide you a platform to leapfrog your career with more opportunities to experience a wider scope of practice with less competition due to location and population.

Nowhere else will you experience the vast diversity of medical and career advancement other than in rural and remote Queensland.

  • Temporary accommodation may be available by negotiation!
  • People focused role which allows you to give back to the community!
  • Work within a culture that leads and embraces change!
