Description Consultant / Specialist Anaesthetist – Coastal Queensland

Up to $549K Package + Private Practice | Coastal Lifestyle | High Earnings

The Opportunity

An exceptional opportunity for a Consultant / Specialist Anaesthetist to join a high-performing department in coastal Queensland, offering a rare combination of top-tier earnings, lifestyle, and private practice potential.

If you're looking to step away from metro pressure without sacrificing income or clinical quality, this role delivers on all fronts.

You’ll join a supportive, well-structured Anaesthetic Department with strong clinical leadership, working across a broad and rewarding case mix.

Why This Role Stands Out

* **Up to $549K total remuneration package**
* **Private practice opportunity with real earning potential**
* Coastal lifestyle with **short commutes and no congestion**
* Flexible contracts (full-time or part-time)
* Supportive team with strong governance and culture

Private Practice – Real Income Upside

Unlike many public roles, this position offers genuine support to build **additional private income streams**, including:

* Access to private hospital sessional lists
* Assistance with credentialing and setup
* Introductions to established referral networks

The Role

You will provide high-quality specialist anaesthetic services, including:

* Delivering **safe, evidence-based anaesthesia** across a broad case mix
* Participation in an **on-call roster** (negotiable)
* Teaching and supervision of junior doctors and trainees
* Contribution to **clinical governance, audit, and quality improvement**

The Hospital

A modern 247-bed regional referral hospital with strong recent investment and redevelopment, offering:

* 24/7 Emergency Department
* 5-bed ICU + Coronary Care Unit
* Full surgical services including:

* Obstetrics
* Orthopaedics
* General Surgery
* Paediatrics

You’ll work in a collaborative, well-supported clinical environment with excellent infrastructure.

The Location

Enjoy the best of coastal living in regional Queensland:

* Beaches, reef, and national parks at your doorstep
* Just 4 hours from Brisbane + direct flights
* Family-friendly community with excellent schools
* Affordable housing and lower cost of living
* Relaxed pace of life with minimal commute times

IMG-Friendly Opportunity

This role is highly suitable for **International Medical Graduates (IMGs)**:

* **Substantially Comparable (SIMG) Anaesthetists encouraged to apply**
* Eligible via **expedited pathway / Competent Authority (UK, Ireland, NZ)**
* Strong support with onboarding, registration, and transition



* Eligible for **Specialist Registration with AHPRA**
* **FANZCA** or equivalent specialist qualification
* Experience as a **Consultant / Specialist Anaesthetist**
* Commitment to **teamwork, teaching, and high-quality patient care**




This is a standout opportunity to maximise both income and lifestyle in one of Australia’s most desirable regions.
