Team Leader and Clinical Dietitian, Level 6

 The St George Hospital and Health Services is part of the South Eastern Sydney Local Health District. It is an accredited, principal teaching hospital of the University of New South Wales and is not only the largest hospital within the Local Health District, but is among the leading centres for trauma and emergency management in the State. The hospital’s areas of special expertise also include cancer services, critical care, cardiothoracic surgery, mental health services and women’s and children’s health care.

 The hospital is currently undergoing redevelopment and in 2026 will open a brand new Kensington Street Building (KSB), bringing together a range of day only, ambulatory and outpatient services that are currently being delivered from a number of locations around the hospital campus. This will improve accessibility for patients and their carers; particularly for those less mobile or who have chronic health conditions. The KSB will also include three levels of inpatient beds. The St George Hospital Redevelopment will provide staff, patients and carers with a first-class facility, designed to meet the health needs of our community, now and into the future.
