As a key clinical leader within Western NSW Local Health District, the DMS will contribute to strengthening specialist clinical networks and partnerships across the Southern Sector, particularly between Bathurst and Orange Health Services, supporting the more integrated, sustainable and equitable access to specialist care.

We are looking for a medical leader who brings credibility, sound judgement, a genuine commitment to developing people and the ability to bring clinicians together around a shared purpose.

This is an opportunity to be part of something significant – helping shape the next chapter of Bathurst Health Service and the delivery of exceptional healthcare for our community.
