Multiple Permanent Full-time positions available, working over a 7 day roster.
Overview:
Port Lincoln Hospital is the primary emergency and acute care facility for the Eyre Peninsula - a region spanning vast distances where the Emergency Department is often the first and only point of critical care. Eyre and Far North Local Health Network is looking for multiple Rural Generalists with strong emergency medicine experience to work predominantly in the ED, delivering independent, advanced-level care to patients who rely on you most.
Your Role at Port Lincoln Hospital:
- Managing undifferentiated and high-acuity emergency presentations independently, including trauma, paediatric and obstetric emergencies.
- Applying advanced procedural skills appropriate to a rural emergency setting - including airway management, resuscitation and stabilisation prior to retrieval where required.
- Contributing to after-hours and on-call emergency rosters to maintain consistent, safe ED coverage.
- Collaborating with retrieval services, visiting specialists and the broader EFNLHN clinical network to coordinate complex patient pathways.
What You Bring:
- Qualification as a Rural Generalist (ACRRM or RACGP rural generalist pathway, or equivalent recognised training) - no single training pathway is mandated.
- Demonstrated ability to practise independently in a rural or regional Emergency Department.
- Advanced procedural skills relevant to emergency medicine in a low-resource, high-stakes environment.
- Experience managing retrieval coordination and working within SA Health or equivalent integrated rural service frameworks.
- Commitment to culturally safe care for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients and communities across the Eyre Peninsula.
A Place Where Your Skills Have Real Impact:
EFNLHN offers Rural Generalists something few metropolitan roles can - genuine clinical scope and the professional trust to use it. You won't be a cog in a large system; you'll be a key clinician in a team that knows your name and values your judgement. SA Health's public hospital salary packaging arrangements enhance your overall remuneration, and the network actively supports ongoing clinical development in rural emergency medicine. Port Lincoln itself is a community worth belonging to: a thriving coastal town with exceptional seafood, open water, and a regional lifestyle that draws people in and keeps them.
Why Join Us:
- Make a real difference and feel like an important part of the community.
- Being part of Eyre & Far North means you will be supported both personally and professionally, can take advantage of education and training opportunities, will have access to flexible working hours and be part of an inter-professional approach to holistic health care.
- Salary package a range of benefits (including living expenses such as mortgage, rent, utility bills and groceries) up to $9,010 each FBT year + $2,650 for Meal Entertainment expenses each FBT year.
- Wellbeing and counselling support: support for you and your family via our free Employee Assistance Program.
- Relocation support: relocation reimbursement of up to $15,000 may be available to people relocating for this opportunity.
- Employee recognition: supportive and collaborative work environment where your contributions are valued and recognised.
