The comprehensive service will demonstrate excellence in the management of all adolescent and Young Adult patients where there is an identified need and an evidenced clinical benefit. In addition to managing patients with chronic and complex conditions such as Diabetes, Cystic Fibrosis, complex urology conditions, and Inflammatory Bowel Disease, the Mater Young Adult Health Service will deliver care across a broad spectrum of specialties including medical and surgical conditions and will at times flex up to include older adults to meet organisational needs.
This position will involve working 24/7 rotating rostered shifts including early, late, night and weekend shifts.
