About us

The Murrumbidgee Local Health District (MLHD) offers medical clinicians the opportunity to thrive in a dynamic, highly supportive regional health network. With more than 5,000 dedicated staff working across 33 public hospitals - including two major Base Hospitals, eight Acute Community Hospitals, and 16 Multi‑Purpose Services - MLHD is a progressive organisation known for innovation, compassion, and excellence in patient care.

Serving a diverse population of approximately 245,000 people across 125,561 square kilometres, MLHD provides clinicians with unparalleled scope to expand their clinical practice, manage a wide variety of presentations, and make meaningful impacts in both small rural communities and larger regional centres. Stretching from the Snowy Mountains in the east to the plains of Hillston in the northwest - and along the Victorian border - MLHD offers not only remarkable clinical breadth, but also the lifestyle benefits of working in one of Australia’s most scenic and welcoming regions.

What you'll be doing

As a Visiting Medical Officer – General Practice Emergency Medicine, you will provide high-quality, patient-centred emergency medical care at Tumut Hospital.

In accepting this position, you will uphold core NSW public sector values, including cultural diversity, equity, ethical practice, and contributing to a healthy, safe, and fair workplace.
