Peel Health Campus Transformation

Metropolitan Health Service - Peel Health Campus Transformation

Peel Health Campus (PHC) provides a suite of general hospital services including emergency, medical, surgical, maternity, aged care, rehabilitation, and oncology.

PHC offers varied, challenging and rewarding clinical prospects for RMO’s. There are extensive opportunities to be involved in critical care cases, inter-hospital transfers of critically unwell patients, toxicology cases, procedural sedation, and airway management.

PHC has established an excellent reputation in the community for its high commitment to customer service, staff satisfaction and quality improvement.

A term rotation at PHC allows you to work in Australia's TOP Tourism Town for 2023. Make the most of your time with us and explore the region's natural beauty, warm hospitality, and superb tourism experiences
