Looking for somewhere challenging, rewarding...somewhere fundamentally different?

Alice Springs Hospital (ASH) is seeking motivated trainees for 2026.

The medicine here is entirely unique. Around 75% of patients are Indigenous - many from remote communities. Co-morbidities and social conditions can be complex and effective communication is essential.

Alice Springs Hospital is a 183 bed teaching hospital with strong links to Tennant Creek Hospital, Royal Darwin Hospital, Royal Adelaide Hospital and Flinders Medical Centre with many visiting specialists from these hospitals.

There are four General Medical teams, a busy Outpatient Department and we provide outreach clinics to some of the most remote parts of Australia.

Alice Springs is the regional hub of Central Australia with an urban population of approximately 30,000 people. It is multicultural with well-established schools and amenities. Alice is bicycle-friendly - rarely taking more than 10 minutes to get anywhere. Out of town are places to camp under the stars, swim through gorges, explore rocky mountain ranges and hit world-class mountain bike trails.
