Department of Surgery – Orthopaedics
Alice Springs
Several full time vacancies fixed from 02/02/2026 for 12 months are available
Selection will be made at the REG or SREG level depending on the experience/qualifications of the successful applicants.

Alice Springs Hospital has a catchment area of over 1,000,000 km2. We care for some of the nation’s most socially disadvantaged people, with high levels of morbidity and mortality, many with diseases not seen elsewhere in the country.

The central desert region of Australia is unique. It is a friendly, welcoming place suited to doctors with a sense of adventure and those interested in indigenous health issues, not generally seen by most doctors in Australia.

Alice Springs is located 1,500km from the next surgical facility and serves a radius of 750km. The medicine is complex with 70% of the work being emergency admissions. Around 70% of the patients are Aboriginal with an interesting mixture of trauma and elective orthopaedic surgery. Bone infection, hand injury, paediatric orthopaedics and neglected trauma, along with elective surgery including arthroplasty and arthroscopy, offers a diverse range of opportunities for expanding orthopaedic experience.

We are looking for an enthusiastic registrar. Many opportunities for research and expanding the relationship with Flinders University or the Baker Institute are available. Registrars are actively supported in pursuing research
