The Hospital
Dubbo Health Service underwent a major transformation to provide expanded and upgraded clinical services, costing over $250 million. The redevelopment of Dubbo Hospital has been designed with the most up-to-the-minute advancements in medical practice in mind. The facilities are world-class. These include 6 ultra-modern Integrated Digital Operating Theatres, a new 32-bed Surgical Inpatient Unit, a new and expanded ICU/HDU, and 20 Bed Coronary Care Ward; and a new Emergency Department to accommodate the busiest trauma centre in Western NSW.

Applicants should be registered (or eligible for registration) as a specialist with the Medical Board of Australia and be a Fellow of the Australian and New Zealand College for Anaesthetists (FANZCA) or equivalent as an overseas trained specialist who has completed their training in either Canada, USA or New Zealand.

The accepted qualifications are: Fellowship of the College of Anaesthesiologists of Ireland (FCAI), together with a Certificate of Satisfactory Completion of Specialist Training (CSCST) from Ireland, or Fellowship of the Royal College of Anaesthetists (FRCA) and a Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT) from the United Kingdom.
