Where you'll be working
The primary site of work is Warrawong Public Health Unit, with additional clinical sessions delivered across other ISLHD sites including Wollongong, Port Kembla and Shoalhaven.

What you'll be doing
You will work in a supportive multidisciplinary team and attend clinics across multiple sites.

This position is suitable for doctors undertaking Advanced Training in Sexual Health Medicine, including those commencing training or nearing completion who require targeted experience in areas such as HIV, reproductive health, genital dermatology or gender‑affirming care.
This position is supported through the RACP Specialist Training Program (STP), which provides funding for professional development, regional training support, relocation assistance and infrastructure.

You get the individual support and care of a small team with the clinical exposure of a much larger facility. The perfect place to prepare for the exam!”
