About the Hospital
You’ll be working in the city of Adelaide, at a small private Emergency Department. Note that in Australia around half of the population has insurance, and it’s common to attend a fee-for-service emergency department.
The Emergency Department is located near a large tertiary public hospital.
Wait times are averaged at 4-20 minutes per patient (not 4 hours!), and the doctor team is supported by nursing and specialist staff.
The site is also doctor-owned and run.
