Summary
- Expert guidance through medical registration and visa processes—clearing the path so you can focus on your next career move with confidence.
- Two distinct Consultant Psychiatrist roles available in inpatient or community settings—choose the environment that aligns with your clinical strengths and interests.
- Live and work in beautiful Coffs Harbour, a coastal city offering professional growth, lifestyle balance, and a supportive health service that values innovation and recovery-focused care.
The Position
Whether you're drawn to the dynamic pace of inpatient care or the continuity and connection of community-based psychiatry, this leading mental health service offers two rewarding positions tailored to your clinical passion.
Inpatient Role – Acute Care Team
Step into a key role within a dedicated general adult inpatient unit. You'll provide specialist care to adults presenting with acute mental health needs, including psychosis, mood disorders, and complex crises. Working alongside another Consultant Psychiatrist, you’ll offer clinical leadership and supervision to a team of four junior doctors, ensuring high-quality, person-centred care in a well-supported environment designed for recovery.
Community Role – Continuity, Collaboration, Recovery
Prefer to work in a community setting? Join the community mental health team where you’ll manage a broad spectrum of adult presentations, from acute to chronic mental illness, including trauma-related conditions and co-morbidity. You'll work closely with a multidisciplinary team and a fellow Consultant Psychiatrist, providing clinical oversight and contributing to a collaborative model of care focused on long-term outcomes and recovery.
Both roles offer the opportunity to thrive in a forward-thinking service, supported by strong clinical leadership and a commitment to integrated, evidence-based care.
The Hospital
Coffs Harbour Health Campus delivers comprehensive, recovery-focused mental health services across both inpatient and community settings. The Acute Mental Health Unit features a modern 30-bed facility supporting adults in crisis, while the Community Mental Health Team provides ongoing outpatient care, including specialised services for older adults, youth, and Aboriginal communities. With strong multidisciplinary collaboration, dedicated junior medical support, and growing investment in mental health initiatives, this is an ideal setting for Consultant Psychiatrists seeking to lead meaningful, patient-centred care in a region that genuinely values mental health.
The Location
Coffs Harbour offers the ideal blend of professional fulfilment and relaxed coastal lifestyle. Set between lush hinterland and pristine beaches, this thriving regional city delivers a strong sense of community, great schools, and a growing health and education sector.
Whether it's an early morning surf, a hike through nearby national parks, or a weekend exploring local markets and cafes—life here is balanced, connected, and full of opportunity. With easy access to a regional airport, you're never far from where you need to be, but chances are, you won’t want to leave.
