Consultant Psychiatrists – Adult Rehabilitation & Child and Adolescent Mental Health

Western Sydney, NSW

Summary Two Consultant Psychiatrist roles available: adult rehabilitation inpatient care and child & adolescent mental health across inpatient and community settings.

The Position

Lead multidisciplinary teams, deliver specialist psychiatric care, and contribute to research, teaching, and service development within a well-supported, recovery-focused network.

Based in vibrant Western Sydney, offering diverse communities, accessible living, and a progressive health service committed to person-centered care and innovation.

Two rewarding Consultant Psychiatrist roles are on offer within a leading metropolitan mental health service—each offering a distinct clinical focus and the opportunity to lead meaningful change in a well-supported, multidisciplinary setting.

One position is based in a dedicated Rehabilitation & Recovery inpatient unit, supporting adults with complex, long-term mental illness. You’ll provide specialist psychiatric care across admissions, ECT, consultations, and on-call work, while contributing to research, teaching, and sub-acute or community services.

The second role sits within the Perinatal, Child and Youth Mental Health Service, delivering care across inpatient and community settings. You’ll lead multidisciplinary teams, oversee evidence-based treatment for young people and families, and play an active role in clinical governance, training, and service planning.

Both roles are designed for psychiatrists who value person-centered care, collaborative practice, and the chance to shape service delivery within a progressive and well-resourced mental health network.

The Hospital This metropolitan health service delivers integrated care through a connected network of hospital and community facilities. Serving one of Australia’s most diverse urban populations, its mental health services are grounded in recovery-oriented practice and driven by innovation, clinical integrity, and whole-of-person care. From acute inpatient support to specialised community programs, the service is designed to meet complex needs while advancing best practice through ongoing quality improvement. Senior clinicians are supported to lead with purpose—whether through teaching, research, service design or system-wide collaboration—within a culture that prizes professionalism, equity, and lasting impact.

The Location Western Sydney delivers a vibrant urban lifestyle grounded in cultural diversity, community spirit, and room to grow. With housing options that remain more accessible than many other parts of Sydney, the region continues to evolve—investing in infrastructure, green spaces, and innovation to support its dynamic, expanding population.

It’s a place where families, professionals, and newcomers alike can find connection, opportunity, and a strong sense of belonging—within easy reach of Sydney’s CBD and surrounding natural beauty.
