General Medicine Consultant

Consultant General Medicine | Cross-Border Regional Referral Hospital | South Australia
The Opportunity
We are working closely with a cross-border regional referral hospital in South Australia to connect with a Consultant General Physician seeking a full-time appointment within a broad regional medical service.
This position offers inpatient and acute general medicine practice within a substantial regional hospital that supports a large south-eastern catchment, including cross-border patient flow from western Victoria. It will suit FRACP physicians seeking meaningful clinical breadth, consultant-level autonomy, and the opportunity to contribute directly to service delivery, multidisciplinary care, and medical workforce development within a service of genuine regional importance. The broader Limestone Coast network serves a population of more than 68,000 people, as well as residents from western Victoria.
The role is well suited to physicians looking for a full-time consultant position where regional scope, community impact, and professional ownership are matched by a strong acute interface and ongoing service growth. SA Health careers material describes the site as the largest regional health facility in South Australia.
The Hospital
This is a substantial regional public hospital within the Limestone Coast Local Health Network, providing acute services ranging from in-hospital care by local general practitioners through to specialist surgical, obstetric, paediatric and anaesthetic services delivered by medical consultants. Public service listings confirm a 24/7 Emergency Department and broad inpatient capability, while network reporting highlights ongoing investment in emergency, mental health, rehabilitation and cancer care infrastructure across the region.
Hospital capability includes:

• Large regional referral role within a cross-border catchment spanning South Australia and western Victoria.
• Broad acute hospital interface with emergency, surgical, obstetric, paediatric and anaesthetic services.
• Consultant-led regional service environment central to care delivery across the Limestone Coast.
• Ongoing infrastructure investment including emergency care, rehabilitation, mental health and cancer care expansion.
