The Position

Join a progressive Mental Health and ATOD Service within a major health provider, offering diverse and rewarding opportunities for Consultant Psychiatrists. Roles are available across multiple subspecialties, with particular focus on Child and Youth Mental Health and Rural and Remote Psychiatry. These permanent full-time positions span inpatient, community, and outreach settings, supported by a multidisciplinary team delivering high-quality, person-centred care. Ideal for psychiatrists who are passionate about regional practice, clinical leadership, and service development, these roles offer both professional fulfilment and lifestyle balance. Internationally trained psychiatrists from comparable health systems are encouraged to apply, with full support for medical registration and relocation provided.

The Hospital

As one of Queensland’s largest regional mental health services, this public Mental Health, Alcohol and Other Drugs Service delivers integrated care across inpatient, community, and outreach settings, with opportunities for teaching, supervision, and research through university partnerships. The service supports a diverse population of 275,000 across two regional health areas, from remote island communities in the far north to rural townships in the south and inland areas to the west. Around 19% of the population identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander, making culturally capable care essential. Clinicians are based in a major regional centre and have the opportunity to travel to some of Australia’s most remote locations - often by 4WD, air, or sea - and regularly use telehealth to support continuity of care.

The Location

Enjoy an unrivalled lifestyle in a region surrounded by natural beauty and cultural richness. Nestled between two World Heritage sites - the Great Barrier Reef and the Wet Tropics Rainforest - this tropical city offers a relaxed Queensland lifestyle with the amenities of a larger urban centre. Though classified as regional, the city boasts vibrant dining, diverse communities, excellent schools, and a wide range of sporting and family-friendly activities. Enjoy affordable living, great schools, and a strong sense of community - making it a fantastic place to raise children or enjoy a balanced lifestyle.

Essential criteria

• Fellowship of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists (FRANZCP) or equivalent.
• Eligible for registration with AHPRA.
• Experience in or enthusiasm for regional and remote health care.
• Specialist interest in Child and Youth or Rural/Remote Psychiatry highly desirable.
• International applicants from comparable countries welcomed.
