Position Overview
Our client is seeking an experienced Consultant in Public Health Medicine to join their team in the beautiful Kimberley region in Western Australia. The successful candidate will support the Public Health Manager, lead the disease control team, and develop strategies to protect and improve the health outcomes for the Kimberley population. This role requires a medical professional who can provide expert public health and clinical medical guidance in managing both communicable and non-communicable diseases, along with emerging public health challenges.
Opportunity Highlights
This position offers the successful candidate an exceptional opportunity to work within a multi-disciplinary, cross-cultural environment with a strong emphasis on Indigenous health and remote service delivery.
