Job Description

The Tasmanian Health Service is seeking interest from suitably qualified applicants for Senior Anaesthetic Registrar/Provisional Fellow vacancies for 2027.

The TATP offers excellent provisional fellowship positions at the Royal Hobart Hospital (RHH) with up to 6 positions available. These positions are approved by ANZCA for provisional fellowship training and can consider 6-month, 12-month, or longer appointments (subject to availability). The TATP also considers fractional appointments for provisional fellowship candidates to pursue other areas of clinical interest including trauma, pain medicine or diving and hyperbaric medicine.

Provisional Fellowship positions in Tasmania allow the successful applicant to develop broad skills and be ready for successful independent specialist practice on completion of their FANZCA. They support the fellow to develop the necessary management and communication skills to compliment clinical competence. These appointments are highly rewarding positions in a friendly supportive department that promotes excellence in practice, collaboration, education, and research. They are a great opportunity for training and for future specialist practice. All training sites in Tasmania have opportunities for ongoing specialist appointments.
