Obstetrics and Gynaecology Jobs in Australia
Access rewarding Obstetrics and Gynaecology jobs in Australia tailored to fit your career ambitions and lifestyle preferences
Your Doctor Jobs began its Obstetrics recruitment by working closely with rural and regional GP Obstetricians holding diplomas and advanced diplomas in Obstetrics. Since then, we have expanded our reach to include a broad network of private and public hospitals across Australia, connecting skilled specialists with rewarding Obstetrics and Gynaecology opportunities nationwide.
The practice of Obstetrics and Gynaecology in Australia closely aligns with that of other leading healthcare systems, including the UK and Ireland, making it a familiar and accessible environment for internationally trained specialists.
Due to Australia's vast landmass and relatively low population density, there is ongoing demand for Obstetrics and Gynaecology services outside of major capital cities. While some regional areas are supported by metropolitan health networks, many rural and remote communities rely on regional hospitals and clinics that provide full obstetric care. These services play a critical role in ensuring maternal and women's health needs are met across large, often underserved areas.
In Australia’s public health system, Obstetrics practice typically involves hospital-based maternity wards, where midwives often manage uncomplicated deliveries independently, with doctors involved in more complex cases.
Benefit from the experience of our O&G team, and our strong reputation for representing only the very best doctors in public and private settings across Australia. We will provide you with in-depth information about the job location, junior support and on-call needs, along with details about beds and annual deliveries.
Register with us today to work closely with our O&G team and find the most rewarding jobs tailored to your needs. We will negotiate all details on your behalf, and help with all administrative paperwork to make your application process run as smoothly as possible.

What qualifications do you need to work in Australia?
The specialist qualification for Obstetrics and Gynaecology in Australia is the Fellowship of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RANZCOG). The RANZCOG training program spans five years and is recognised for its comprehensive curriculum, governance, and assessment standards. If you trained overseas, you can compare your program against the RANZCOG requirements to see if it is comparable in terms of content and duration. Doctors trained in the UK/Ireland (MRCOG + CCT) are often deemed comparable and may be eligible to apply for Specialist Assessment in Australia.
All our doctors have access to expert advice on the registration process with the College, AHPRA and Medicare. Additionally, we provide support from an external migration agent to assist with immigration and visa matters.
