Are you a Psychiatrist with an interest in Intellectual and Developmental Disability looking for a rewarding clinical role combined with an exceptional lifestyle?
We are currently recruiting for a Consultant Psychiatrist to join a well-established Mental Health Service within a major regional Queensland hospital. This is a rare opportunity to work within a highly supportive multidisciplinary environment while enjoying a relaxed coastal lifestyle, affordable housing, and excellent work-life balance.
You will be joining a large regional referral hospital servicing a population of more than 200,000 people across a diverse catchment area. The hospital provides comprehensive acute, mental health, specialist, surgical, and emergency services and is supported by modern infrastructure and strong executive leadership.
As a key member of the Mental Health Service, you will work alongside experienced psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, allied health professionals, and community teams committed to delivering high-quality patient-centred care.

Bundaberg offers one of Australia's most enviable regional lifestyles.
Imagine finishing work and being just minutes from beautiful beaches, waterfront cafés, and outdoor adventures. The region enjoys a warm climate year-round, making it ideal for those who love sunshine and an active lifestyle.
Housing remains significantly more affordable than Australia's major metropolitan centres, allowing many doctors to enjoy larger homes, acreage properties, or coastal living without the financial pressures of city life.
Bundaberg is the gateway to the Southern Great Barrier Reef, offering world-class diving, fishing, boating, and island experiences right on your doorstep.
Families are particularly attracted to the area thanks to excellent schools, a strong sense of community, short commute times, and abundant recreational facilities.
Whether you're looking to raise a family, reduce your commute, enjoy outdoor living, or simply achieve a better work-life balance, Bundaberg offers an outstanding lifestyle that is increasingly difficult to find in larger cities.
An attractive package valued at up to $549,000+ per annum is available, including:
