About Barwon Health

Working for Barwon Health means you are working for an organisation that has a clear strategic direction. Barwon Health’s Vision is to work with the community to build healthy lives, inspired by world class standards. With our consumers at the forefront through Education and Research our aim is to be at the pinnacle of health care and we can only achieve this with our staff being at their best.

We are an award winning regional health provider and Victoria’s largest regional health service with one of the busiest hospitals (The University Hospital Geelong) in the state. We serve the Barwon South West region with over 500,000 people through the efforts of over 6,500 staff and more than 1000 volunteers. We provide care at all stages or life and circumstance through a wide range of services from emergency and acute to mental health, primary care, community services, aged care, and subacute/rehabilitation. Care is provided to the community through over 21 key locations throughout the region.

About the Role

You will be expected to function free of direct day to day supervision. The time will be shared equally between outpatient clinics and surgery. Most of the surgery will be for cataract, but there will certainly be exposure to other anterior and posterior segment surgery, oculoplastics and some trauma.

There are currently 9 visiting ophthalmologists at University Hospital Geelong, including vitreo retinal, corneal and oculoplastic subspecialists.

About the Culture

You will work with innovative teams who maintain extensive knowledge and experience. You will have support and guidance from fellow team members and management who exhibit our Barwon Health values, respect, compassion, commitment, accountability and innovation.

We believe that working at Barwon Health is joining a culture where people strive to work to the full extent of their qualification, capability and experience with a working environment that enables this to happen.

You will work in a JMO culture where 80-89% of Interns, Residents and Registrars believe Barwon Health is:
