Grampians Health Ballarat Campus is a major training site for the University of Melbourne and Deakin Clinical Schools.
Grampians Health Ballarat Campus recruitment for the 2023 clinical year is currently underway for the Emergency Department (ED).

The department has a culture of supervision and support for junior medical staff. This includes proactive training for HMO and Registrar groups, protected weekly training sessions, multi-disciplinary M&M and a responsive positive feedback program.
We are looking for doctors who have a team focus, exceptional communication skills and a desire to learn emergency medicine skills in a regional setting.
