Registrar rostering provides flexibility to maintain a work-life balance. Shift and leave requests are incorporated into the roster and pairing of rosters for joint applicants can occur. It is required for our registrars to work a mix of day, evening, night and weekend shifts. Shifts are 9.5-hour duration for day and evenings. Night shifts 10 hours. Full time work is 8 clinical shifts per fortnight plus the 10 hours of paid protected training time per fortnight on top of this. We deliver an education program that is highly valued and runs as a full day each fortnight. Registrars are specifically rostered to these days to avoid clinical demands interfering with their attendance. In addition to the whole-cohort education program, there are separate and dedicated preparation programs for the ACEM primary and fellowship examinations. We also support those undertaking the AST EM StAMPS exam.

You will be joining a department dedicated to inclusion and the wellbeing of its staff. This is exemplified by winning multiple ACEM awards in the last few years for embedding numerous strategies into our daily work practices.
