Consultant Psychiatrist - All subspecialities
About this role
Consultant Psychiatrist – Shape the Role Around You
If you’ve been thinking about a move, this is worth a conversation.
We’re currently working closely with multiple services across Queensland who are genuinely open to tailoring roles around experienced psychiatrists — not just plugging you into a vacancy. Whether your focus is general adult, child & adolescent, forensic, addiction, or another subspecialty, there’s flexibility here to align with your interests and long-term plans.
What makes this different?
This isn’t a “one-size-fits-all” position. These roles sit within the broader public system under Queensland Health, but each Hospital and Health Service operates with its own structure, leadership style, and clinical priorities.
That means:
- You can explore metro, coastal, or regional locations
- You’ll have input into your clinical mix (inpatient, community, outreach, etc.)
- There are real opportunities to get involved in service development and reform initiatives
The Offer
- Total package typically ranging $400,000 – $525,000+
- Relocation support for you and your family
- 40-hour working week with a genuine focus on balance
- Support with permanent residency pathways
- Access to well-established multidisciplinary teams
- Ongoing professional development and leadership opportunities
The Work Environment
Mental health services across Queensland are continuing to evolve — with a strong push towards:
- Community-based, recovery-focused care
- Integrated service delivery across inpatient and outpatient settings
- Trauma-informed and culturally safe practice
You’ll be working alongside experienced clinicians in collaborative teams where your input is valued — not lost in the system.
And outside of work?
This is where Queensland really stands out.
Think:
- Year-round warm climate and an outdoor lifestyle
- Easy access to beaches, national parks, and weekend escapes
- Family-friendly communities with strong schooling options
- A noticeably more relaxed pace compared to major metro centres
Whether you prefer coastal living, city convenience, or something in between — there’s a location that will suit.
