Lismore Base Hospital / Ballina District Hospital / Casino & District Memorial Hospital



Apply now for an Unaccredited Trainee (PGY4+) in Emergency Medicine position within the Richmond Network. The successful applicants will gain valuable experience in our hospitals, working under the guidance of highly experienced senior clinicians. Candidates will have the opportunity to complete terms at Lismore, Ballina and Casino hospitals.

Our ideal candidates will be PGY4+ at the time of commencement and able to commence employment within the current clinical year. Candidates will be required to participate in a 24/7 roster that includes day, evening and night shifts.

Education: We offer weekly education sessions, facilitated by Dr Martin Duffy (ACEM Educator of the year 2021), including simulation, clinical skills, case reviews, and buddy shifts with FACEM. SRMOs are supported by EMET Lismore Hub providing access to multiple workshops including paediatric emergencies, procedural skills, ultrasound and airway management.

Career Progression: Following your Unaccredited year, you can progress to Emergency Medicine Training at Lismore Base Hospital. LBH is accredited for 36 months of training as a Trainee Stage 1-3, 6 months as Trainee Stage 4 (Lismore ED), and 3 months as Trainee Stage 4 (non-ED Medical Education). Our ED Registrar positions offer opportunities to rotate to ACEM accredited terms in Retrieval, Anaesthetics, ICU, Medical Education and Ultrasound.



Where you'll be working
Lismore Base Hospital (LBH) is the recognised Trauma Centre for the North Coast Region and is linked with the local helicopter retrieval service. The Lismore Base Hospital (LBH) Emergency Department (ED) sees over 40,000 adult and paediatric presentations per year and is a regional trauma centre.

The department includes modern facilities such as a 4-bed resuscitation and procedure bay, acute zone, an ED short stay unit (EDSSU), fast tract and medical imaging services.


LBH ED also supports Richmond Network hospitals including Ballina District Hospital (18,000 presentations per annum) and Casino Memorial District Hospital (14,000 presentations per annum), and Multipurpose Centres located at Kyogle, Nimbin, Urbenville and Bonalbo.


We are an affiliated teaching hospital for medical students from the University of Sydney, University of Wollongong, University of Western Sydney and Bond University. The hospital has a strong commitment to teaching and support for its Junior Medical Officers.


Our region encompasses World Heritage listed rainforests and the pristine beaches of Evans Head, Ballina, Lennox Head and Byron Bay. This area is blessed by year-round sun, a tropical climate and a short winter. From lush hinterland villages, to Mount Warning, national parks, and sparkling beaches, the region is full of natural wonders and vibrant destinations all within a short drive from Lismore.




What you'll be doing

The primary purpose of an Unaccredited Trainee in Emergency Medicine is to provide safe and high quality care, assess and manage, under supervision, patients presenting to the Emergency Department (ED) and admitted to inpatient wards when rotating to inpatient specialties. The trainee needs to be aware of their limitations and work in a collegiate and collaborate manner.

Decision making and supervision will be at the appropriate level according to the trainee’s skills, knowledge and experience. The Medical Officer will be expected to adopt a progressively more independent approach to patient management according to their experience, under the guidance of and at the discretion of the appropriate Attending Medical Officer (AMO). All patients managed within the hospitals of the health service are under the direct care of a specialist medical practitioner. All decisions regarding their care are to be clearly communicated with the specialist responsible for that care.

The position supports meeting the prerequisites for provisional training with the Australasian College for Emergency Medicine (ACEM).
