Alice Springs Hospital has a catchment area of over 1,000,000 km2. We care for some of the nation’s most socially disadvantaged people, with high levels of morbidity and mortality, many with diseases not seen elsewhere in the country
Spectacular national parks surround Alice Springs. The lifestyle is laid back with an emphasis on outdoor activities and the arts. The central desert region of Australia is unique. It is a friendly, welcoming place suited to doctors with a sense of adventure and those interested in indigenous health issues, not generally seen by most doctors in Australia. Nestled within the MacDonnell Ranges, spectacular gorges and waterholes, accessible by road, walking trails and bicycle tracks, surround the town. Alice’s great facilities make for an excellent lifestyle. There are many galleries, al fresco cafes, restaurants and bars, all manner of sport and fitness clubs.
Alice Springs Hospital is a 183 bed teaching hospital affiliated with the Flinders University in South Australia and Charles Darwin University in Darwin. It is the only major hospital covering over a million square km with a strong focus on indigenous and remote health as a result of such a dispersed population. Over two thirds of acute admissions are Aboriginal people both from town and remote communities. Consequently, cultural, language and communication skills are an important component of our service delivery. Our medicine is complex, including good old fashioned “hands-on” care.
Alice Springs Hospital has an exciting and professionally satisfying opportunity for a Specialist Clinician in ENT. Majority of the ENT work is pre-booked elective outpatient clinics and operating schedule with less frequent emergency consultations. More than 50% of elective ENT surgeries are otological.

In addition to routine ENT issues, ear health including its surgical treatment is a major responsibility for ENT specialist in Central Australia.
