Consultant Intensivist | 12-Bed Level 5 ICU | CICM Accredited | Regional NSW
The Opportunity
We are working closely with a Level 5 general adult Intensive Care Unit in regional New South Wales and are keen to connect with FCICM-qualified Intensivists interested in a full-time role within a structured, consultant-led service.
This is a hands-on regional ICU offering broad exposure across medical and surgical critical care, within a well-supported and clearly defined clinical model.
The ICU

Capabilities include:

• Invasive and non-invasive ventilation

Children are admitted occasionally on a case-by-case basis and are managed jointly with Paediatrics.

The ICU is:

• CICM accredited for 6 months of General Training
• Consultant-led with 2 Intensivists rostered Monday–Friday
• 1 Intensivist rostered on weekends
• Supported by a Registrar and SRMO 24/7

This structure provides stability, appropriate workload distribution and strong clinical governance.
The Hospital
The hospital functions as a major regional referral centre within the Hunter New England network, delivering comprehensive emergency, medical and surgical services across a broad catchment.
The ICU works closely with Emergency Medicine, Anaesthetics and surgical services, with established transfer pathways to tertiary centres when required.
