The Position
A rewarding opportunity is available for a Consultant Psychiatrist to join a well-regarded Integrated Adult Mental Health Service in a permanent part-time role (0.5 FTE). This role spans both inpatient and community settings, delivering care to adults with complex mental health needs—often in the context of substance use, homelessness, or contact with the justice system.
You’ll provide specialist assessment, treatment planning, and clinical leadership within a multidisciplinary team, using recovery-oriented, trauma-informed, and person-centred approaches. Key responsibilities include oversight of allocated patients, care under the Mental Health and Guardianship Acts, and active collaboration with families, GPs, and NGOs. You’ll also lead clinical handovers and participate in the on-call roster.
The service forms part of a broader mental health network offering acute, rehabilitation, early intervention, and specialist programs. With strong academic links, you’ll have opportunities to contribute to teaching and supervision of medical students and psychiatry trainees.
The Hospital
This networked health service is grounded in a mission of compassionate, inclusive care, with a deep commitment to supporting vulnerable and marginalised populations. Its values—Compassion, Justice, Integrity, and Excellence—guide all aspects of service delivery. Staff are part of a collaborative, values-driven culture, committed to excellence in care, teaching, and research.
The Location
Living in Sydney means immersing yourself in a lifestyle that effortlessly combines cosmopolitan energy with coastal ease. From its iconic beaches and expansive national parks to a thriving culinary and arts scene, the city offers something for every pace of life. Outdoor enthusiasts will relish weekend surfs, harbour walks, and sunny skies year-round, while urbanites can indulge in world-class dining, festivals, and cultural events. With a strong job market and excellent public transport connecting vibrant neighbourhoods to the CBD, Sydney strikes a rare balance — dynamic, diverse, and deeply liveable.
Essential Criteria
Eligible for registration with the Medical Board of Australia via the Specialist Pathway (Substantially Comparable) or Expedited Specialist Pathway.
At Wavelength International, we make your move to Australia seamless—cutting through the complexity of medical registration and visa processes with the clarity and care you deserve, so you can focus on what’s next.
