The Position
We are looking for multiple Emergency Medicine Registrars for Fixed Term Full Time and Part Time appointments for 6, 12, 18, 24 or 36 months, all with the possibility of extension(s).
As an ED registrar you will have unrivalled exposure to “real” Emergency Medicine (including procedures) within a fully supervised department. If you believe “variety is the spice of life” this could be the place for you!
The Campus functions as the regional resource centre for the Southwest region with all major specialties present on site including ICU and CCU/Cath lab. As the only Emergency Department in the town, and being the regional centre for the Southwest, patients present with the entire spectrum of acute medical, surgical, paediatric, obstetric, gynaecological, and mental health related illnesses.

The Emergency Department is the largest department in the hospital and the biggest Emergency Department in WA outside of Perth. The Department consists of 39 beds including ED ambulatory care and Short Stay Unit. The Department receives more than 45,000 presentations per year of whom approximately 40% require admission. Case mix, including acuity and activity is highly varied. Patients are younger than many tertiary sites with 25% being children. The department sees the whole spectrum of Emergency Presentations and registrars generally have more opportunity for procedures than in metropolitan tertiary EDs. Emergency Department staff may assist with medical transfers on the Bunbury Rescue Helicopter. ED medical staff include Specialist Emergency Physicians, Senior Medical Practitioners, Registrars, Residents, and Interns. The lifestyle is highly desired, and the regional location means very short commutes to work.
