This is an excellent opportunity for an Unaccredited Sub-Acute Trainee to develop skills in rehabilitation and general sub-acute medicine within a supportive regional setting. You will be involved in the ongoing management of patients requiring step-down care, focusing on functional recovery, discharge planning, and multidisciplinary coordination.
The role offers meaningful patient interaction, strong supervision, and exposure to a broad mix of medical, post-surgical, and rehabilitation cases—ideal for those considering careers in General Medicine, Rehabilitation, or Geriatrics.
The Location
This coastal town in Northern New South Wales offers a relaxed lifestyle set along a major river, with easy access to nearby beaches and national parks. Known for its strong community feel and slower pace, the area provides a peaceful environment with essential amenities, making it ideal for those seeking a balance between work and lifestyle.
The Hospital
The hospital is a community-based facility within a wider regional network, with a strong focus on sub-acute and rehabilitation care. The department manages patients transitioning from acute services, including those recovering from stroke, surgery, and complex medical conditions. Care is delivered through a multidisciplinary model, working closely with physiotherapy, occupational therapy, nursing, and social work to support functional improvement and safe discharge. The service is well-supported by larger referral centres, providing a structured yet hands-on learning environment where trainees can develop confidence in holistic, patient-centred care.
