Emergency Medicine Jobs in Australia

Tap into our network of ED clients

Our recruitment team has more than 50 years' experience in the industry, and since YDJ's inception in 2015 we have been steadily building our network of hospital clients and establishing strong relationships. Through this network we are able to offer Emergency Medicine jobs across all levels, from registrar to senior consultant, right across Australia. We can find that hidden gem for you, and provide advice every step of the way.

Permanent and locum Emergency Medicine jobs in Australia offer an enormous range of options, due to consistently high demand for doctors. The Emergency Department (ED) plays an important role, where doctors not only resuscitate arrests and treat trauma and injuries, but are also responsible for stabilising all critically ill medical admissions.

The vast size of Australia and our  low population density means that the major EDs in the cities tend to service a large catchment area, encompassing outlying rural and/or regional areas.
