Position Tagline
To provide Obstetrics & Gynaecology services to patients who present to Canterbury Hospital under supervision to ensure quality health care for the local community, while developing expertise in Obstetrics & Gynaecology in a complex clinical environment.
Where you'll be working
Canterbury Hospital is a 215-bed metropolitan acute general hospital, providing services in Emergency Medicine, General Surgery and Medicine, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Paediatrics, Aged Care, Rehabilitation and Palliative Care. Canterbury Hospital caters for a local population of 220,000 people. The Canterbury area is home to a culturally and linguistically diverse community. Just under half (48%) of Canterbury residents were born overseas and just under half (47%) reported Chinese, Lebanese or Greek ancestry. Many residents of the Canterbury community have arrived in Australia relatively recently. Just fewer than 67% of Canterbury residents do not speak English at home which is almost three times higher than the NSW average (22%). The predominant languages spoken are Arabic, Greek, Mandarin, Bengali, Cantonese, Vietnamese, Urdu, Italian, Indonesian, Korean and Nepali. On average, around one third (33%) of Mandarin, Korean, Cantonese and Vietnamese speakers do not speak English well or at all. The majority of humanitarian arrivals that have settled in Sydney Local Health District, have done so in the Canterbury area. Most arrived from Afghanistan, although a significant number of Burmese and Rohingyan refugees have also settled in the area. Humanitarian arrivals often have complex health problems related to either their prior limited access to healthcare and/or their individual experiences of persecution or trauma. Aboriginal people make up 1.1% of the district’s population, compared with 2.9% of the state’s population.
Population projections indicate a 39% increase in population between 2016 and 2031
