We have an opportunity for a psychiatrist to join us as a Clinical Director and VMO at our new specialist private mental health hospital in Toowoomba, Qld. The Toowoomba Clinic is well managed, has a contemporary evidence-based approach to patient care and offers a wide range of therapies to patients who are extremely happy with the treatment they receive.
Join a collaborative multicultural team which includes visiting medical specialists, doctors, a clinical psychosexual therapist, psychologists, a dietician, exercise physiologist and mental health nurses. Applications from practitioners with an interest in either general adult, child-adolescent, older person psychiatry, or addiction are welcome.
You can choose to operate from an established group practice, or you can commence practice from professional suites located in the hospital complex.
Ideally applicants will have FRANZCP, specialist registration with AHPRA and be eligible for an unrestricted Medicare provider number. However, we are willing to consider applications from psychiatrists with international medical qualifications requiring a Section 19AB exemption for a Medicare Provider Number granted by the Federal Health Minister and consider doctors from countries which are regarded as having comparable professional standards for consideration by the RANZCP to commence on the Fellowship pathway.
