Practice meaningful medicine where it matters most

Imagine a role where your clinical work genuinely changes lives - not just one patient at a time, but across communities. In Alice Springs, Addiction Medicine is not a narrow subspecialty - it is integrated, complex, and deeply human, spanning hospital care, community engagement, youth services, and remote outreach across Central Australia.

You'll work at Alice Springs Hospital alongside a passionate multidisciplinary team, delivering care that crosses traditional boundaries. Your practice will include inpatient and consultation liaison services, supporting patients through withdrawal and complex admissions while guiding hospital teams in managing alcohol and other drug issues. You'll contribute to early engagement through ED inreach, and provide ongoing care through outpatient pharmacotherapy and community follow-up.

Beyond the hospital, your role extends into areas that are rarely part of metropolitan practice. You'll contribute to youth AOD services, supporting early intervention and care for young people, and play a role in managing volatile substance use presentations, including working within Northern Territory legislative frameworks. You'll also support services that reach into remote communities, delivering care where access and continuity truly matter.

This is a role where you are not just delivering care-you are shaping how care is delivered. You'll support and mentor junior doctors, contribute to service development, and help strengthen an integrated, region-wide Alcohol and Other Drugs service.

Life in Alice Springs

Living in Alice Springs offers something rare: space, connection, and perspective. Outside of work, you're surrounded by vast desert landscapes, dramatic ranges, and some of Australia's most iconic natural environments. Weekends might mean swimming in a gorge, hiking through ancient country, or simply enjoying a slower pace of life.

The town itself is a vibrant regional hub, with a strong arts scene, local food culture, and a welcoming community. Working here also means engaging with Aboriginal communities and cultures - an experience that brings purpose, challenge, and a deeper understanding of health and wellbeing.

What you'll find professionally

In Alice Springs, your practice will be broad and deeply rewarding. You'll see a wide spectrum of Addiction Medicine - from acute hospital care through to long-term community management, alongside work that includes youth services, complex social determinants, and legislated care environments.

You'll be supported by an experienced multidisciplinary team, with opportunities to teach, mentor, and grow as a clinical leader. The work is varied, the clinical presentations are complex, and the impact is immediate and tangible.

You'll also benefit from a competitive NT specialist package, including regional and remote incentives, generous leave, funded professional development, and relocation support - ensuring your lifestyle matches the significance of your work.

Who this role suits

This role is ideal for an Addiction Medicine Specialist (or equivalent) who is looking for more than just a job - someone who values collaboration, embraces complexity, and is motivated by improving outcomes for diverse communities through culturally safe, patient-centred care.
