The Northern NSW Rurally Enhanced Training Network is seeking a passionate Trainee to join our Training Network in 2027!
  • 5-year contract with both metropolitan and rural rotations
  • Rotate every 12months. Each site is highly regarded and will offer both private and public practice.
  • During your 3rd Year you will have access to subspeciality training throughout the year.
  • This position has been designed to offer you the chance to hone your skills in Ophthalmology in a supportive and structured environment.

Where you'll be working:

The Northern Regionally Enhanced Training Network (RETN) is a new Australia-wide training network. Approximately two-thirds of the trainee’s time will be spent in regional Australia and one-third in urban centres.

The Northern RETN training pathway will provide a broad exposure to all areas of ophthalmology needed to be a comprehensive ophthalmologist and will give trainees hands-on experience in the wide range of ophthalmic styles of practice in Australia, such as teaching hospitals in both large cities and provincial centres, private practice medicine, Aboriginal Medical Service clinics and remote community outreach clinics. RETN trainees will achieve the same degree of excellence in training that the trainees from the current vocational networks do.

The Northern RETN pathway rotation is of one year or longer duration, so RETN trainees do not have to change locations frequently.

What you'll be doing

Regional posts have a lot to offer trainees. They provide comprehensive general ophthalmology clinical experience with increased opportunities to follow each patient through the course of their presenting problem. This contrasts with the patient journey in big city teaching hospitals where patients are typically funneled into subspecialty clinics following their initial presentation. In addition, regional terms typically offer trainees a wider range of surgical training.

Qualifications -
  • MBBS or equivalent, currently registered or eligible for registration with the Medical Board of Australia in an appropriate registration category
  • Minimum of 3 years post graduate experience at commencement of post, with 6 to 12 months demonstrated ophthalmology experience.
  • Demonstrated commitment to pursue a career in Ophthalmology with a view for further training with RANZCO by providing evidence of continued professional development
  • Demonstrated effective teamwork, time management and problem solving skills as part of a multidisciplinary clinical care team.
  • Evidence of continued professional development and commitment to self-education and teaching undergraduate and post-graduates
  • Excellent communication (verbal and written) with patients, their families, medical and non-medical colleagues; Demonstrates ability to provide empathetic clinical care.
  • Drivers licence in order to provide service between hospitals and out of hours
