Alice Springs Hospital
You know the theory about Aboriginal Health, now come and see it for yourself. Alice Springs Hospital is the only major
hospital covering a catchment area of ~1,000,000 square km, which is literally Bigger than Texas. We care for some of the
nations sickest and most socially disadvantaged people, many with diseases not seen elsewhere in the country.
Spectacular national parks surround Alice Springs. The lifestyle is laid back with an emphasis on outdoor activities and the
arts. The central desert region of Australia is unique. It is a friendly, welcoming place especially suited to trainees with a
sense of adventure and those interested in fourth world health issues, not generally seen by most doctors in Australia.

Ms Judith Martinez | Tel: +61 8 8951 7777 | Email: Judith.Martinez@nt.gov.au
Paediatric Registrars
We have 7 registrar positions, one of which is a community registrar position funded under the ESTP scheme. We offer
trainees: Exposure to Aboriginal Health/ a spectrum of diseases you have probably only read about/ severity of diseases
unlikely to be encountered in major cities. You will have opportunities to better understand the nexus between social
environment and disease/ visit remote communities and retrieve patients with the RFDS/ complete community and rural
training requirements for general paediatrics/ complete projects/ accept increasing responsibility for patient management.
We provide good consultant cover/ commitment to teaching and supervision/ a good roster. Preference will be given to
candidates seeking 12 month appointments.
Working in paediatrics at Alice Springs is challenging. At times the work here is hard and confronting. The flip side is
that it offers opportunities to make a difference to patients lives which you probably dont get in many places. This is an
unparalleled training opportunity.
