Bayside Health

Bayside Health is a public health service delivering high-quality care across every stage of life for close to 1.2 million people living in metropolitan Melbourne, the Mornington Peninsula, Koo Wee Rup, Bass Coast and Southern Gippsland. We have more than 15 main sites, including hospitals, centres and clinics that provide comprehensive care from welcoming newborns to supporting older people and a full range of services in between. More than 22,000 dedicated staff are focused on providing exceptional, equitable, and locally connected care through shared expertise, compassion, and a commitment to continuous growth. Education and training are central to staff development as we encourage all employees to strive and thrive. Bayside Health was formed following the merger of Alfred Health, Bass Coast Health, Gippsland Southern Health Service, Kooweerup Regional Health Service and Peninsula Health on 1 January 2026.

Bayside Health is seeking applications for an Anaesthesia Registrar to commence in February 2027. This is a 12 month position, based at Alfred Care Group. It is an ‘independent’ position, outside of the Victorian Anaesthetic Training Rotational Scheme. It would suit trainees who are currently registered with ANZCA and have completed Basic Training by the start of 2027. 
 
The Alfred is a large public teaching hospital in Melbourne, part of Alfred Care Group, along with Sandringham Hospital and Caulfield Medical Centre (aged care and rehab). The Alfred is a tertiary/quaternary referral centre where all adult surgical specialties are performed except obstetrics/gynaecology, which occurs at Sandringham where 1600 babies are delivered/year alongside an orthopaedic and general surgery service. The Alfred provides several state services including Major Trauma, Burns and Adult Cardiothoracic Transplantation. The anaesthetic department delivers over 26,000 anaesthetics/year across 18 operating theatres, endoscopy suites, procedure rooms and further off the floor locations in radiology, cardiology and ECT suites.
 
Alfred Care Group is accredited for ANZCA training and is part of the Eastern rotation of the Victorian Anaesthetic Training Scheme. Our department is committed to providing excellent educational programs and is proud of a strong record of exam success. In addition to protected weekly teaching time, dedicated programs run throughout the year to support registrars preparing for both part 1 and 2 exams. All trainees are supported in working towards completion of applicable ANZCA training requirements during their time in the department.
 
The department has an active research team, participating in several large, often international multi-centre trials at any point in time. There are also many quality assurance/improvement audits and projects in which trainees can become involved.       
The key responsibility of this role is to provide anaesthetic care to Alfred Care Group patients under the supervision of consultant anaesthetists. The successful candidate will also have the opportunity to contribute to teaching and educational programs where appropriate.
 
Enquiries should be directed to Dr Matt Richardson, Dr Julia Kuchinsky, Dr Janette Moss, Dr Ron Glick & Dr Dan Creely, Supervisors of Training, at SOT.anaesthesia@alfred.org.au
