Alice Springs Hospital (ASH) invites passionate medical officers to join our dynamic oncology team.
You'll have the opportunity to deliver exceptional specialist care to patients across the Alice Springs and Barkly regions, and even into the fringes of Western Australia and South Australia.
Additionally, you’ll play a crucial role in supporting our Day Infusions Centre. Alice Springs Hospital is a 183 bed teaching hospital affiliated with the Flinders University in South Australia and Charles Darwin University in Darwin.
It's the only major hospital covering over a million square km with a strong focus on Indigenous and remote health as a result of such a dispersed population. Over two thirds of acute admissions are Aboriginal people both from town and remote communities. Cultural, language and communication skills are an important component of our service delivery.
