Melbourne, Australia Austin Health Full time

Location: Melbourne | Northern Metropolitan

Job type: Full Time - Fixed Term

Organisation: Austin Health

**Salary**: $135 - $145

Occupation: Health and Allied Health

Reference: 1938

**_Are you a current Austin Health employee?_**

Austin Health is the major provider of tertiary health services, health professional education and research across three campuses in the Northeast of Melbourne and state-wide. We have a highly engaged, diverse and collaborative workforce that is unified by our goal to help people live healthy and fulfilled lives.

**About The Department of Anaesthesia**

The Department of Anaesthesia is located on Level 2 of the Austin Tower. The Department comprises 38 full time Staff Anaesthetists, 75 Visiting Anaesthetists, 28 Anaesthesia Registrars/Fellows, 6 Critical Care HMOs, 3 Research Nurses, 8 Pain Nurses, 10 Anaesthesia Liaison Nurses, and 5 Administrative Staff.

The Austin operating theatre complex is situated on Level 2 of the Harold Stokes building and consists of 11 theatres, 2 endoscopy suites and 2 procedure rooms. Anaesthesia is also undertaken in Radiology and Cardiology Cath Lab.

The Surgery Centre opened in 2008 on the Repatriation Campus. It is an autonomous elective surgery centre but is incorporated into Austin Health. It consists of 8 theatres, an endoscopy room, and a procedure room, and has a separate Head of Anaesthesia. Administrative services are provided by the Department of Anaesthesia at the Austin Campus.

Most surgical specialties, apart from Cardiac Transplantation, Obstetrics and Complex Paediatric Surgery, are undertaken at the Austin and are covered by the Department. Surgical specialties at the Austin include Thoracic, Cardiac, Neurosurgery, Hepatobiliary, Orthopaedic, ENT, Ophthalmology and Vascular. The Austin is a statewide referral centre for liver transplantation and spinal injuries.

The Austin also has a Pain Service encompassing acute and chronic pain.

There is a strong research structure in the Department with a Head of Research supported by 3 research nurses.

The Austin is co-located with the Mercy Hospital for Women and whilst the Anaesthesia Departments at both hospitals are separate, they have close ties.

It is recognised that an anaesthesia department at a teaching hospital needs a wider range of skills than any one anaesthetist could have. Therefore, each individual anaesthetist will need to bring their own set of skills which will complement those of others and enable the department to cover all contingencies and provide a comprehensive service. No individual anaesthetist can be expected to be proficient in every area of modern anaesthesia.
