Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia Head Medical Full time
Overview

Are you a Psychiatrist looking to move to sunny Gold Coast in Queensland?

  • Excellent remuneration package up to AUD$500k dependent upon experience.
  • Beautiful new hospital with state-of-the-art facilities.
  • Stunning natural attractions, coastal living and all without sacrificing the benefits of a vibrant, dynamic, metropolitan city.
  • Over 160 education facilities including public and private schools, special education, TAFE and universities.
  • Beautiful subtropical climate with warm winters and stunning summers.
The Role

The Role
Opportunities exist within Acute, Youth, Community and Inpatient Teams.

You will provide clinical expertise in the assessment, diagnosis, investigation, and management of patients with severe complex mental health problems, across a number of settings. Some of the duties include:

  • Involve members of the multidisciplinary team in the assessment and provision of patient care in order to maximise the benefits and application of different discipline areas.
  • Closely monitor the activities of junior staff, in particular their ability in evaluating patients' histories and examination, the quality of their work and response to emergencies, quality of record-keeping and completion of discharge summaries.
  • Participation in the department's Quality Assurance Program and business meetings such as participation in morbidity-mortality, Quality and Business meetings, practice audits and other meetings as required.
  • Participate in an after-hours and on call roster.
Requirements

Applicants should be registered (or eligible for registration) as a specialist with the Medical Board of Australia and be a Fellow of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists (FRANZCP) or equivalent as an overseas trained specialist who has completed their training in either the UK, Ireland, Canada, USA (ABPN certified) or New Zealand.

The Medical Board of Australia has implemented a new expedited pathway to specialist registration, eliminating the need for a specialist assessment with a specialist medical college for those with an accepted qualification in Psychiatry. The only accepted qualifications are MRCPsych and a Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT) after 2007, with the new pathway available from December 2024. Now is the time to apply for a new role.

The Location

The City of Gold Coast is the second largest city in Queensland. It is a thriving metropolis that also offers a relaxed beach-side lifestyle situated on the south coast of Queensland. Famous for its stunning beaches, sub-tropical rainforests and great entertainment options, the Gold Coast is one of Australia's premier tourist destinations, attracting visitors from all over the world. While tourism has long been its key industry, the Gold Coast is also home to many other established and burgeoning industries, including sports, marine, information technology, education and health & medical. The Gold Coast offers a modern coastal lifestyle in one of Australia's most desirable locations.

The Gold Coast offers diverse residential opportunities, with homes and apartments overlooking the ocean or canals, through to rambling properties in the hinterland areas only 30 minutes from the CBD. With over 50km of beaches, World-heritage listed rainforests and National Parks on your doorstep, there is always something to explore in your time away from work.

If you love sport, the Gold Coast is the place to be. It plays host to a diverse range of sporting events, from the Magic Millions horse racing carnival, the national rugby league competition, international surfing competitions, through to the GC600 V8 Supercar racing.

Efficient public transport networks ensure easy access from the Gold Coast to Brisbane. The recently upgraded national highway ensures the two cities are connected via a short commute of one hour by car. The Gold Coast is also a gateway to other Australian and international destinations with its own airport.
