Where you'll be working

We provide exposure to adult, paediatric, trauma, cardiothoracic, neuro (including interventional radiology), complex head and neck, major vascular, and obstetric anaesthesia.

Interested trainees may apply to work 0.5 FTE in the Hunter New England Simulation Centre (HNESC), one of the busiest and longest-running simulation centres in Australia. The centre provides simulation-based education for practising clinicians across all disciplines and supports patient safety and systems improvement initiatives across the health district.
These fellowship positions are suited to trainees with interests in simulation-based education, Human Factors, healthcare quality and safety, and systems improvement. Established in 2017, our Human Factors (Quality & Safety) Fellowship was the first of its kind in Australia and remains a unique opportunity to combine anaesthesia, simulation, and systems-focused healthcare improvement within a major tertiary referral network.
Newcastle is geographically blessed with stunning beaches, inland waterways, coastal walks, great sporting teams, a strong sense of community, and close proximity to both the Hunter Valley and Port Stephens. We have everything except traffic!
What you'll be doing
