📍The lifestyle difference

Located in the heart of the Torres Strait, Thursday Island offers a unique blend of vibrant culture, close-knit community, and stunning tropical beauty. Surrounded by turquoise waters and rich in Torres Strait Islander traditions, it's a place where your work truly matters and where island life brings both adventure and deep connection.

Let's be upfront - roles like this don't come around often in remote.

• Monday to Friday | Business hours
• Very limited on-call requirements
• Time to really immerse yourself in where you live
• Finish your day and go for a walk by the water.
• Watch the sunset.
• Be present
• This is remote done differently.

This is still remote. Flights can change. Resources aren't always at your fingertips. Things don't always run like metro. But what you gain is something different - space, perspective, and purpose.

✨ About the role

As the Clinical Midwifery Consultant, you'll provide leadership and support to maternity services across the Torres Strait.

This is less about being on the floor constantly, and more about:

• Leading and supporting midwifery teams
• Strengthening clinical practice and service delivery
• Building team capability and confidence
• Supporting safe, culturally appropriate care across the region

You'll be someone who can walk into a team, build trust, and bring people along with you.

🌿 Who we're looking for

We're looking for a strong, steady leader - someone who knows their craft and backs their people.

You'll bring:

• Expert midwifery clinical knowledge
• Confidence to work autonomously in a remote setting
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills
• Ability to lead, mentor, and support teams
• Excellent computer skills - organised, efficient, across systems
• And importantly… resilience - calm, adaptable, and grounded

🏡 What you'll get in return

Torres and Cape will give you a career with purpose, plus excellent benefits and allowances;

• A rare remote leadership opportunity with work-life balance
• The ability to work at full scope and influence real outcomes
• A chance to experience island life in the Torres Strait
• Professional growth that stays with you long after you leave
• A supportive team who understands the realities of remote work
• Relocation incentives + accommodation + 17.5 + leave loading + 12.75% employer super contributions
• Refer to Workplace benefits | Torres and Cape Hospital and Health Service
