Be part of the founding team at Western Australia’s most comprehensive specialist and emergency hospital in Perth.
SASH is expanding to Western Australia, with SASH Perth opening in November 2026.
We're seeking a Criticalist who wants to do more than join an established service. This is a rare opportunity to help build one, influence its direction, and leave a lasting mark on specialist and emergency care in Western Australia.
Working alongside a growing multidisciplinary team of specialists in Surgery, Anaesthesia, Internal Medicine, Cardiology, Radiology, Neurology, Dermatology, ECC and additional specialty services as we continue to expand, you'll help build a collaborative ECC service within one of Australia's most ambitious new specialist hospitals.
"One of the things that excites me most about SASH Perth is the opportunity to build something exceptional from the ground up. We're looking for people who want to contribute ideas, shape the service, and help create a hospital they're genuinely proud to be part of."
