Sitting within one of Victoria’s six regional health centres, Barwon Health serves the community of Greater Geelong and beyond. Victoria’s second largest city after Melbourne, Geelong is becoming recognised as a creative city-region, adaptive and enterprising. The local government has also placed a great emphasis on innovation, employment and economic growth in the Geelong region.

Associated with this growth, reinvigorated with a new CEO and Chair and boosted by significant Departmental funding, Barwon Health is creating new roles across the organisation. Barwon Health has the energy and willingness to invest in the right people and in medical resourcing.

Within Barwon Health, the Mental Health Directorate is a forward-looking unit with a vision to be at the leading edge of psychiatric treatment and analysis in Australia. This unit is currently looking for experienced Consultant Psychiatrists to work either in an inpatient environment (at least 3-4 years’ experience as a consultant), or an experienced psychiatrist looking to take on one of their experienced community mental health teams.

Reporting to a Lead Psychiatrist (and ultimately to the Clinical Director), you will be a natural leader, collaborative and committed to being part of a larger team of around 25 VMO and full-time psychiatrists. You will also have a strong background in the training and supervision of registrars and medical students.

Those choosing to apply will have the option to live in a beautiful, affordable part of the world, or have the flexibility to commute. Geelong also has the schools, beaches and sports expected of one of Australia’s top cities to live in.

Applicants must hold the FRANZCP, be accredited as a supervisor by the RANZCP, and be registered with general or specialist medical registration with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency.

We look forward to your application.
