About us:

ACT Health is a values-led Directorate. Our values guide our day-to-day actions, behaviours, decisions and communications to successfully deliver the best services to meet the needs of our community. They were developed by us, for us and are unique to our work.

Canberra Hospital & Health Services provides acute, sub-acute, primary and community-based health services to the ACT and surrounding region.

The key strategic priority for acute services is to deliver timely access to effective and safe hospital care services. The hospital delivers a full range of medical, surgical and obstetric services, including complex procedures in areas such as cardiac surgery, neurosurgery and neonatal intensive care.

Strong links exist between hospital and community-based services, as many of the operational divisions deliver services across the continuum of care to ensure continuity of care for patients. The community based services of ACT Health include early childhood, youth and women’s health; dental services, rehabilitation and community care; mental health and alcohol and drug services. In addition, justice health services are provided within the Territory’s’ detention facilities.

Overview of the work area and position:

The Canberra Hospital ICU is a busy CICM level 3 ICU, with approximately 2000 admissions per year. The Intensive Care Unit has 31 bed spaces fully equipped with state of the art equipment and operates a 4 pod model of care. Our medical staff enjoy a variety of presentations including all types of medical and surgical illnesses, as well as post operative cardiac and neurosurgery patients plus major trauma. The hospital is supported by a busy helicopter retrieval service. Due to its location, the unit also provides care for critically ill children in the region, either for short term organ support or as a bridge to retrieval to a dedicated Paediatric Intensive Care Unit.

The Intensive Care Unit is accredited by CICM for General Training (old C24 training) in Intensive Care (including Neurosurgery, Cardiothoracic and Trauma) and supports basic and advanced trainees in Intensive Care Medicine as well as trainees undertaking short term rotations from other training schemes, and pre-vocational junior medical officers.  The unit has a strong research focus performing unit based mul, ANZICS clinical trial group and company sponsored studies. The unit also has a strong commitment to teaching at undergraduate and postgraduate level with links to the adjacent Australian National University Medical School.
