- Commencement in 2026 for either February or August starts.
- Full time and part time, fixed term positions available with possible Toxicology and/or other rotations for 2026 clinical year.
- Austin Health is the major provider of tertiary health services, health professional education and research across three campuses in the north-east of Melbourne and statewide. 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**
- Austin Emergency Department (ED) is one of Melbourne’s busiest, seeing around 90,000 patients annually. We have access to a wide range of rotations for our Doctors. For Registrars, we offer the standard rotations as well as exclusive Special Skills Terms (see ). Whilst employed in the ED, registrars will usually work a rotating roster including day, evening and night duty. The roster will involve weekend and Public Holiday duty. There is no on-call component, although this may occur whilst on rotation to other departments.
- The Austin ED has a strong focus on Toxicology, Research and Quality and there are always projects running concurrently. It is one of very few EDs in Australia with a dedicated Professor/Director of EM research.
- Our ED values the wellbeing and health of its staff and has a wellness committee (TeamED), the ED Social Club and a departmental peer support program (WEEPS) available for all staff to participate in as they wish. We value and support our registrars by having registrar representatives participate in the fortnightly Emergency Physician meetings and roster Emergency Physicians from 0800 to 2300 daily and on-call 2300 to 0800 to provide clinical support.

**About the role**
- Registrars assess and manage patients according to their level of experience. They are expected to develop and implement an understanding of the needs and processes of ED resource management appropriate to their level of experience, including bed access, bypass avoidance strategies and interdepartmental liaison.
- Registrars will also be expected to supervise and educate junior staff in patient assessment and management where appropriate. Registrars may at times be called to treat patients in the Mercy Hospital in emergency situations where the condition of the patient falls outside the clinical skills of Mercy.
