Ballarat Base Hospital is a large Regional Hospital, centrally located in Ballarat, approximately 100km west of Melbourne (population 101,000).

We have an expanding chemotherapy day unit providing outpatient chemotherapy, two state of the art linear accelerators for radiotherapy services, inpatient facilities, research and clinical trials unit, and a wide range of allied health services including breast care nurses, prostate cancer specialist nurse, leukaemia supportive services coordinator, social workers, oncology pharmacists, physiotherapy, dietetics and occupational therapy. The service currently employs four full time medical oncologists as well as six visiting medical oncologists and four visiting haematologists. We currently have a clinical oncology fellow, advanced trainee oncology registrar, as well as a basic trainee medical registrar and medical resident officers as part of our inpatient team. We work closely with the radiation oncology unit (BAROC) and the palliative care team with an outstanding inpatient palliative care facility, 'Gandarra' situated nearby. The oncology unit at Ballarat works closely with all the clinical teams at Ballarat Base Hospital, with regular multidisciplinary meetings with the breast, gastrointestinal,urological, thoracic, neuro-oncology and ENT units. A significant proportion of cancer care west of Melbourne utilizes our services, with a catchment population of in excess of 350,000. We have a close affiliation with Medical Oncology and Haematology Units at the Austin Hospital. We also provide teaching to medical students from both Melbourne and Deakin Universities.

Ballarat is just over and hour's drive from the centre of Melbourne,located in the Central Highlands of Victoria.There are a number of nearby state parks and large reserves,including the Enfield State Park, Creswick Regional Park, Mount Wareenheip Flora Reserve and Lake Barrumbeet Park.

The Fellow position is a full time clinical and research based position, suitable for candidates wishing to gain valuable clinical experience in a regional cancer centre. We have four outpatient clinics a week, with one being an outreach clinic. There is scope to develop telehealth services to supplement our current service to the region. It is anticipated that there will be considerable time available to work on your own research project as well as participating in the research activities of the unit. Whilst there is no inpatient care assigned to the role, it is an opportunity to help oversee the inpatient unit, providing teaching as well as guidance, all overseen by our team of very supportive consultants. Current on-call responsibilities are one in six weeks, with all members of the unit participating in the after hour's roster.
