About the Role
Coffs Harbour Health Campus is a rapidly expanding regional referral hospital serving the Mid-North Coast of NSW. We are seeking motivated PGY3+ doctors for a non-BPT medical registrar position offering broad clinical exposure across Gastroenterology, Geriatric Medicine, Endocrinology, and General Medicine.
This role is ideal for doctors taking time to consolidate clinical skills before committing to a training pathway, or those seeking an additional year of experience following an interrupted training journey. You will work alongside experienced consultants in a supportive environment with manageable caseloads that metropolitan hospitals rarely offer.
Coffs Harbour is one of Australia’s most enviable places to live – a vibrant coastal city with world-class surf beaches, hinterland rainforests, an international airport, and a thriving food and arts scene. Enjoy an outstanding work-life balance without sacrificing clinical breadth or career progression.
As the hospital continues to grow its specialist services and infrastructure, registrars joining now will be part of an exciting period of development with real opportunities to shape the culture of a modern regional service.
AHPRA general registration required. Applications welcome from candidates considering or reconsidering specialty pathways.

The area is flanked to the west by World Heritage rain forests and the National Parks of the Dorrigo plateau and the Bellingen Valley.
Coffs Harbour is one of two places on the east coast of Australia where the mountains meet the sea. Our town is well connected with flights to Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane and the temperate climate means Coffs is known for its relaxed lifestyle, coastal walks, surfing beaches, hiking, camping, mountain biking, whale watching, deep sea fishing, golfing, and wonderful local produce.
