Where you'll be working
South East Regional Hospital (SERH), which opened in 2016, is one of the two main modern hospitals in Southern NSWLHD and is located in the Yuin Nation near the beautiful south coast of NSW.

There is great local demand for Gynaecology services. SERH undertakes primarily general gynaecology and this role includes access to regular operating lists and the opportunity to bring a special gynaecology interest/subspecialty to the area.

You will work with a team of committed midwives and GP Obstetricians to provide a multi-disciplinary and contemporary maternity service. The unit will be moving to a Midwifery Group Practice model of care in 2024. SERH is part of The Canberra Hospital Tiered Perinatal Network, with highly functional and collaborative care arrangements which provides great support to the whole of SNWLHD.

We are keen to implement a roster of 7 days on-call, the frequency of which can be negotiated in a collaborative model of care, working with very good local GP Obstetricians and Midwives. Opportunities include an option to explore continuing professional development at The Canberra Hospital.
