We are seeking a motivated and skilled Respiratory Scientist to become part of our multidisciplinary team. In this role, you will perform a broad range of respiratory function assessments, including spirometry, lung volume measurements, gas transfer testing, bronchial provocation testing, and cardiopulmonary exercise testing.

This position offers you to work in a dynamic clinical environment where you will contribute to the delivery of evidence-based, patient-centred care. You will play an active role in maintaining and enhancing the quality and operational requirements of the respiratory physiology service, supporting continuous improvement initiatives, and contributing to research, quality management, and change management projects that improve patient outcomes.
This is an exciting opportunity to join a respected service and make a meaningful contribution to the assessment, diagnosis, and management of respiratory conditions across the ACT and region while advancing your career within a supportive and progressive healthcare environment.
