Description

Besides the excellent work opportunities, Cairns offers a unique lifestyle suitable to a wide variety of interests. Cairns is in the heart of the tropical north and is the primary gateway to northern Australia.  

Duties/Abilities 

Contribute to the development of a tertiary paediatric cardiology service within the Cairns HHS.  Cairns Hospital is the only tertiary children’s service outside of Townsville and provides services to the Cairns, Cape and Torres Strait Island areas.     

Sub-speciality paediatric cardiology services are currently provided with nursing and indigenous healthcare worker support, in conjunction with the Queensland Children’s Hospital (QCH), who provide cardiac surgical and intervention services. 

Provide ambulatory and inpatient care to children and young people requiring sub-speciality cardiology services.  Participating in outreach to Torres and Cape HHS and Cairns and Hinterland HHS catchments will be part of this exciting role.  

The role involves caring for a population including high numbers of indigenous children in remote communities with high rates of rheumatic heart disease. Additional subspecialty interests are highly desirable, including foetal echocardiography and/or imaging interests.
