Alfred Health is a leader in health care delivery, improvement, research and education. We are the main provider of health services to people living in the inner southeast suburbs of Melbourne, from ambulatory to inpatient and home and community-based services.

On 1 January 2026, Alfred Health will come together with Kooweerup Regional Health Service, Peninsula Health, Bass Coast Health and Gippsland Southern Health Service to create Bayside Health, a newly merged health service with more than 22,000 employees caring for a community of over 1.2 million Victorians.

The new health service will provide people with the best possible care with services that support them throughout their lives. The merger will also strengthen our workforce, providing new training, education and career opportunities.

Subject to final approval on 1 January 2026, all employees from the five health services will transfer to Bayside Health.

Applications are invited from suitably qualified medical practitioners for the role of Medical Oncology Fellow. This role has the key responsibility for co-ordinating the management of oncology patients eligible for or enrolled on clinical trials within the Oncology Unit of the Alfred Hospital.

This includes overseeing trial patients, their treatments and protocol-specified reviews. Potential patients will be assessed for suitability and consented if appropriate in daily outpatient clinics.

The role may include supervision of junior medical staff. The fellow will be expected to attend 5 outpatient clinics per week, including participation in rural clinics, as well as multidisciplinary meetings and weekly unit meetings, and contribute to the after-hours on-call roster, including weekends.

Engagement in research projects during the placement will be expected. Applications from two individuals for job sharing of a single position will be considered if presented as a co-ordinated application.

The placement will provide supervision, exposure and experience to enable the fellow to develop the skills, knowledge and credentials for transition into a medical oncology specialist training program or into the immediate post-FRACP phase of career development.
