FRACS - Director of Surgery | Clinical Leadership Role – Tasmania
  • Salary package up to $500k +
  • Negotiated management allowance
Shape the future of surgical services in one of Australia’s most progressive regional health systems.
We are seeking an experienced and visionary Director of Surgery to lead Surgical and Perioperative Services at a major teaching and referral centre.
This place offers a rare combination of career impact and lifestyle where you can lead at a senior level, yet be minutes from world-class wineries, hiking trails, and coastline. No commute, no congestion just time back in your day.

Lifestyle
  • Award-winning restaurants and cafés - renowned for farm-to-table dining
  • Vibrant regional city with excellent schools, food, and culture
  • Multiple daily direct short flights to Melbourne & Sydney
The Opportunity
This is a rare senior leadership role combining:
  • Strategic influence across a growing regional health service
  • Clinical practice within your surgical specialty
  • Oversight of surgical services, workforce, and operational performance
  • Direct impact on training, research, and system-wide service delivery
You will lead a multidisciplinary department delivering high-quality surgical care across inpatient, outpatient, and procedural settings while driving innovation, efficiency, and excellence in patient outcomes.

Why This Role Stands Out
  • True Leadership Impact – Lead and shape surgical services across a major regional referral hub
  • Academic & Teaching Environment – Strong links with the University of Tasmania and specialist colleges
  • Influence System-Wide Strategy – Contribute to statewide surgical planning and service development
  • Supportive Executive Structure – Work within a values-driven, collaborative leadership team
What You’ll Be Doing
  • Provide strategic and operational leadership for Surgical Services
  • Oversee theatres, day procedures, outpatient clinics, and perioperative care
  • Drive clinical governance, safety, and quality improvement initiatives
  • Lead workforce planning, supervision, and development of surgical teams
  • Maintain active clinical involvement in your specialty
  • Strengthen training pathways and postgraduate education programs
Remuneration & Benefits
  • Motor vehicle allowance ($28,786 p.a.)
  • CPD allowance ($16,974 p.a.)
  • Relocation supports up to $15,000
  • Salary packaging + additional benefits
  • Flexible leave, study leave, and professional development pathways
What We’re Looking For
  • Fellowship with Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (or equivalent)
  • Eligible for specialist registration with AHPRA
  • Proven clinical leadership and service management experience
  • Strong commitment to education, governance, and quality improvement
The Bigger Picture
Join a health system committed to:
  • Evidence-based care
  • Innovation and service redesign
  • Building sustainable, high-performing teams
This is more than a job it’s an opportunity to leave a legacy in regional healthcare leadership.
