About the role


Applications are invited from suitably qualified applicants for the position of a second Medical Oncology Advanced Trainee at Ballarat Regional Integrated Cancer Centre for 2024. This 12-month RACP-accredited training position will commence in February 2024. The successful candidate will gain a valuable and rewarding clinical experience in medical oncology at a regional cancer centre.

Our service currently employs five full-time medical oncologists, six visiting medical oncologists and four visiting haematologists. Our junior team consists of one medical oncology fellow, one oncology advanced trainee registrar, two basic physician trainee (BPT) medical registrars, and three Hospital Medical Officers (HMO). Of these, one BPT and one HMO position support haematology inpatient and outpatient services. All unit members participate in the after-hours roster. The two advanced trainees will participate in a roster to support outpatient clinics, oncology ward and inpatient consultative services, after-hours on-call and weekend rosters. The advanced trainee will also provide services to an outreach service and will have an excellent opportunity to gain experience in managing a wide array of oncology conditions in the rural-regional setting with one-to-one interaction with a supervising consultant. It is a fantastic opportunity to oversee the inpatient unit, providing teaching and guidance, all overseen by a cadre of senior and very supportive consultants.

In addition to the weekly journal club, the trainees will benefit from weekly teaching sessions by the consultant staff and protected time to attend the VMOTG Friday teaching sessions. The oncology unit at Ballarat works closely with all the clinical teams at Grampians Health, with regular Breast, Upper Gastrointestinal, Colorectal, Urological, Thoracic, Neuro-oncology and Head and Neck multidisciplinary team meetings. We also have fortnightly oncology-radiology and oncology-pathology meetings. We have an excellent and dynamic clinical trial unit; the trainee will have an excellent opportunity to learn about various aspects of clinical trials. The trainee will also have full support to conduct or participate in a research project. There will be an opportunity to participate in the national and international oncology conferences.

We work closely with the radiation oncology unit (BAROC) and the palliative care team with an outstanding inpatient palliative care facility, “Gandarra”, situated nearby. A significant proportion of cancer care west of Melbourne utilizes our service, with a catchment population of over 350,000.
