EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT ADVANCED TRAINEE - TWEED VALLEY HOSPITAL
BE A PART OF AN EXCITING NEW CHAPTER IN THE HISTORY OF THE TWEED VALLEY HOSPITAL - Move planned for 14 May 2024.
Tired of big cities? Want to start your days sitting on your deck in the sun, enjoying a cup of coffee and listening to the birds? Or would you rather have a surf or a walk along the sand before work? Then here is your opportunity to work in a busy hospital situated on the lower end of the Gold Coast. Wonderful beaches, world heritage-listed national parks, hinterland villages, great food and fine wine, and excellent public and private schools are all waiting for you in Tweed and the North Coast area.
We will be moving to the new Tweed Valley Hospital (TVH) in early 2024 so here is your opportunity to work in a new hospital with increased services and specialties. This is the largest regional capital health investment funded entirely by the NSW Government.
A great opportunity exists to be part of the new state-of-the-art hospital, with more beds and increased healthcare services. TVH will be a major referral hospital at the heart of the network of hospitals and health facilities across the Tweed Byron region.

TVH will be a major referral hospital at the heart of the network of hospitals and health facilities across the Tweed-Byron region. It will provide the health services required to meet the needs of the growing population of the region beyond 2032.
The development will provide the community access to more health services closer to home, which will enable patients to remain near family, friends and existing support networks. It will reduce the need for 5,000 patients to travel outside the region each year to receive treatment.
The Tweed Hospital/Tweed Valley Hospital is characterised by friendly relations within the staffing structure and we are a cohesive and happy team, united by our desire to care for others.
