Western Australia

We are pleased to offer a 12-month fellowship at Joondalup Health Campus, commencing in 2026. As the only ANZMOSS-endorsed post in WA, this is a unique opportunity for advanced training in bariatric and upper gastro-intestinal surgery, including benign and malignant gastric procedures.

Joondalup Health Campus, operated by Ramsay Health Care, is one of WA’s largest hospitals and home to one of the busiest emergency departments, treating over 100,000 patients annually. As a state bariatric referral centre, we perform approximately 800 bariatric surgeries and 100 hiatus hernia repairs each year, including 280 public cases.

The fellowship focuses on minimally invasive bariatric surgery with significant exposure to sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bypass (OAGB & RYGB), and revisional procedures. Fellows are expected to participate in all bariatric and upper GI emergencies, contribute to general surgery on-call (1 in 5), and gain experience in endoscopy and endoscopic intervention.

You will work closely with four specialist surgeons, assist in private operations, and support the education of registrars and junior doctors. Participation in research and quality improvement initiatives is expected.

Eligibility:
• Fellowship of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (FRACS)
• Eligible for registration with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA)
• Recent completion of advanced general surgery training
• Personal medical indemnity for private assisting
Ramsay Health Care provides employer indemnity for public work and pays a base retainer. Private assisting income is retained in full by the Fellow.
