Consultant Psychiatrist | Regional Victoria
Flexible, well-supported role with genuine scope to shape your practice

If you’re looking for a role where you can have real clinical influence, be part of a close-knit team, and still enjoy a high quality of life outside of work — this one is worth exploring.

We’re currently partnering with a well-established regional referral hospital in Victoria to support the appointment of a Consultant Psychiatrist. This is a service that genuinely values collaboration, flexibility, and innovation in mental health care.

Close collaboration with consultation-liaison and inpatient psychiatry teams
Direct engagement with an experienced Clinical Director and multidisciplinary team
Opportunities for mentorship, making it particularly appealing for newer Fellows

This is a role where your voice is heard, and your clinical input has a visible impact on service delivery.

The Hospital

The service sits within a major regional health provider with:

Approximately 175+ beds
A workforce of over 1,000 staff delivering care across the region
Strong links with Monash University and La Trobe University for teaching and training

Mental health services include:

Acute inpatient care
Community mental health services
Consultation-liaison psychiatry
Crisis and outreach support

What’s on Offer

Flexible appointment: Full-time or part-time options
Relocation support available
Opportunities to develop private practice alongside public work
Access to salary packaging and novated leasing
Ongoing professional development and career progression
Supportive, innovative team environment
Free onsite parking and staff wellbeing programs
