Nuclear Medicine Technologist – 5–10k Incentives Offered
Dubbo Health Service

 

About the role
A unique opportunity exists to join a highly skilled, small team of Nuclear Medicine Technologists within a rural cancer centre and radiation oncology department. The PET clinical service currently provides FDG PET imaging, with PSMA scanning scheduled to commence in July 2026.

This role is well suited to someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment and demonstrates strong problem-solving skills, adaptability, and initiative. It offers a rewarding opportunity to improve access to PET-CT services for rural patients who previously needed to travel significant distances for imaging.

A typical day begins with quality control checks of the hot lab and PET scanner, followed by a patient safety huddle to prepare for the day. Responsibilities include explaining procedures to patients, obtaining relevant clinical histories for the off-site reporting physician, administering radiopharmaceuticals, and performing PET scans using a Biograph MCT. You will also be responsible for image reconstruction and review in consultation with the reporting physician, as well as ordering doses and preparing imaging requirements for subsequent sessions.

You will work closely with fellow Nuclear Medicine Technologists, nursing and administrative staff, and collaborate with the Deputy Chief Radiation Therapist and broader Radiation Oncology team within the Western Cancer Centre Dubbo.

The role requires delivering safe, high-quality healthcare through strong clinical skills, sound judgement, and adherence to best-practice standards. You will actively identify, assess, and manage clinical risks while contributing to a culture of safety and continuous quality improvement. Participation in service development through audits, quality initiatives, and improvement projects is expected.

This position also offers strong professional development opportunities, including involvement in research, clinical trials, and cross-disciplinary learning. Ongoing support is provided for career growth through quality improvement activities, research participation, abstract development, and conference attendance, within a service committed to innovation, safety, and excellence in patient care.
