The Royal Women’s Hospital is one of Australia’s oldest and most distinguished tertiary hospitals dedicated to improving the health and wellbeing of women and newborns, offering specialised services within maternity, neonatal and women’s health. Our goal is to be the best place to work, learn and contribute, and to provide exceptional experiences for our patients and consumers.
About the team
The Women’s is excited to introduce a Public Fertility Services (PFS) for Victorians. Building on decades of leadership in fertility care, in 2022 we successfully secured funding to establish Australia’s first fully PFS designed to provide comprehensive person-centered fertility care to eligible patients. The focus of the new PFS is to offer high-quality, safe and value-based care that is inclusive and culturally safe and improves access to fertility services for those who are currently underserviced by the private sector. This includes single people, Aboriginal Victorians, LGBTIQ+ Victorians, people with a disability, people from culturally and linguistically diverse communities, people from regional / rural communities and people living on low incomes.
Sitting within the Women’s Health Services Unit, this exciting new initiative benefits from our established Reproductive Services Unit (RSU) and our Andrology Service Unit (ASU). We will be expanding our services from
• Investigations of infertility
• Treatments to resolve conditions which affect fertility
• Assistance to achieve a pregnancy through IVF, artificial insemination, donor insemination and ovulation induction
• Protecting fertility prior to treatments which may damage fertility, such as chemotherapy
• Donor Egg and Sperm Bank
• Surrogacy
• Preimplantation Genetic Testing
• A partnership-based public service model reaching regional and remote Victoria.
The Reproductive services unit (RSU) at the RWH is looking for a skilled and motivated person/s to fill vacancies within the service. Young consultants with competencies in fertility and IVF related procedures and an interest in contributing to the departments’ research portfolio will be preferred.
The roles would involve clinical service in the areas of RSU which would include outpatient clinic, and some after-hours service as part of the on call RSU roster.
Cycle 1: Tuesday 0900-1230 (outpatient)
Cycle 3: Thursday 1330-1700 (outpatient)
It would be expected that suitable applicants participate in RSU unit meetings and audits as well as attending and participating in structured meetings such as Morbidity/Mortality meeting and departmental meeting. RWH is a tertiary teaching hospital and the role comprises structured and non- structured teaching, training and supervision of medical students and junior doctors.
